"United By Love" | Christmas Eve 2025
Have you ever felt like you gave everything, only to face rejection? Pastor Gary opened his Christmas message with a poignant story of a failed proposal in Paris, using it to contrast with God's unfailing love. Through the powerful lens of Christmas, he unveiled the threefold nature of Jesus' love - it showed up, came down, and gave all. Drawing from Matthew 1:23, Pastor Gary illustrated how God didn't just send a text or make empty promises; He physically entered our messy world, choosing shepherds - the outcasts - as the first to receive the greatest news in history. With relatable examples from social media struggles to family drama, he emphasized how Jesus meets us in our brokenness, offering truth in a world of lies, abundant life instead of mere existence, and complete forgiveness for every mistake. The message culminated in a stirring invitation to receive this transformative love, reminding us that while the TikTok proposal guy faced rejection, Jesus's arms remain eternally open - offering acceptance, belonging, and a love that split history in half. This Christmas, will you step into the greatest love story ever told?
