Catch the message, "Home For Christmas: Longing For Home" by Pastor Scott Jones.

Deep within every heart is a longing to be home — not in a place, but in the presence of God. From the wilderness wanderings to Babylonian exile, Israel’s story is one of homesickness for God’s promise. They sang by the rivers of Babylon and wept for Zion. Yet through prophets and poets, God reminded them that the journey wasn’t over — that one day he would bring His people home again. This longing is the echo of Eden in every human soul — the ache that Christmas begins to heal.

The Garden of Eden was humanity’s first home — a place of peace, purpose, and presence. But when Adam and Eve chose disobedience, they traded home for exile. When sin entered the world, we didn’t just break a rule — we broke relationship. We walked away from the One who made us, and ever since, every human heart has been homesick for God. Yet even in judgment, God’s heart for His children never changed. He went looking for them. He covered their shame. He promised redemption. Christmas is the fulfillment of that promise — the moment God stepped into our exile to bring us back home.

We never arrive. Sometimes spiritual growth feels like 2 steps forward and 3 steps back. We have to stay vigilant in our pursuit of transformation, and that means you don’t take a day off. It is the “one day at a time” mindset that keeps us from living in guilt and frees us to stay focused on the change we want to see.

When it comes to making amends, first there is the willingness and then there is the follow-through. This action is a necessary step. We can’t always reconcile a relationship, but we can admit to others what we have done to hurt them and seek to make it right in whatever way God provides.

None of us sin in a vacuum. When we sin, we often sin against people. We’ve all hurt people in our past. We can ignore it, or we can record it. Naming people we have wounded and being willing to address that is what it means to be like Jesus.

Humility is the primary posture of one who wants transformation. God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. In humility, we invite God to remove everything that we have used to prop up our lives and replace it with a renewed mind and character.
