Christmas Eve

Pastor Opie Swails delivered a powerful message titled "Let There Be Light | Turn Your Eyes," reminding us of the profound significance of keeping our focus on Jesus, especially during the Christmas season.

As we gathered on December 22, 2024, we explored the depth of scripture from Acts 26, where Paul speaks boldly about faith and commitment. Here are some key takeaways from the sermon:

Jesus is the Reason: Pastor Opie emphasized that amidst the festivities, we must remember that Jesus is the true reason for the season. His love and sacrifice are the ultimate gifts we receive, and acknowledging this can transform our celebrations into profound acts of worship.

The Danger of Almost: Through the stories of King Agrippa and Felix, we were reminded of the peril of being "almost" persuaded to follow Christ. This serves as a call to fully commit and not delay our walk with the Lord.

Faith Over Fear: Despite the distractions and fears that life presents, Pastor Opie encouraged us to turn our eyes upon Jesus, trusting Him fully. The assurance of His love and presence is our anchor in times of uncertainty.

As we reflect on these teachings, let's embrace the challenge to live fully in faith, not letting anything hold us back from a deeper relationship with Jesus. May this message inspire us to act with urgency and devotion, knowing that His love is ever-present and transformative. We're blessed to have you in our community, and we hope to see you at our next gathering.
