In the final message of our Christmas series, Unwrapping Christmas, we turn our attention to heaven’s response to the birth of Jesus. The angels declared, “Glory to God in the highest!” — a powerful reminder that the only reasonable response to God’s promise, plan, and presence is worship.

In this episode, we explore how true worship flows from personal encounter with a God who is near, merciful, and good. Worship is not a moment in a service or a musical expression — it is a lifestyle of gratitude, alignment, and awe. When we behold who God is and recognize His hand in every part of our lives, praise becomes our natural response.

Discover how worship shapes our perspective, draws us deeper into relationship with the Father, and anchors us through every season — mountains and valleys alike. Even when emotions falter or life feels overwhelming, worship reorients our hearts back to the truth: God is worthy, always.

Join us as we celebrate the Savior’s birth and embrace a life marked by continuous praise.

In this message, Pastor Josh continues our Unwrapping Christmas series by moving from the promise of God to our response to that promise. While last week reminded us that God always keeps His word, this sermon invites us to consider how God’s plans unfold through human surrender.

Before the manger, before the miracles, and before the angels filled the sky, there was a young woman named Mary—and a divine interruption. Through Luke 1, we see how God’s plan of salvation didn’t begin with human ability or understanding, but with a simple, costly, and faithful “yes.”

Pastor Josh explores how God’s plans often disrupt our own, why obedience unlocks divine purpose, and how God never calls us without empowering us through His presence. Mary’s response reveals a timeless truth: obedience often comes before understanding, and surrender always precedes breakthrough.

This message challenges us to make room for God’s interruptions, to trust His timing, and to say yes even when the path forward feels uncertain. Just as Mary’s obedience changed history, our surrendered yes may impact generations.

In this opening message of the Unwrapping Christmas series, The Promise invites us to see Christmas not as the beginning of God’s plan, but as the proof that He always had one. Journey through Scripture from the Garden of Eden to the manger in Bethlehem as we uncover God’s promise of a Savior—spoken in humanity’s darkest moment and fulfilled in the birth of Jesus.

Discover how God’s unchanging nature, perfect timing, and unfailing Word give us confidence in every season of life. When we fall short, His promises remain. When we wonder if He will come through, history reminds us that He always does. This message will encourage you to trust His timing, hide His promises in your heart, and rest in the faithfulness of a God who always keeps His word.
