This message dives into what it means to live with purpose while waiting for Jesus’ return, inspired by the Parable of the Ten Bridesmaids in Matthew 25. It’s about staying ready, not just busy—overcoming spiritual procrastination by embracing our roles as both servants and friends of God. The question is simple: how can the promise of His return reshape your priorities today? Let’s explore how to live faithfully, purposefully, and fully prepared for the moment we meet Him.

The Christmas story isn’t just a sweet tale about a baby in a manger; it’s an announcement that Jesus came to save us from our sins. That’s good news. But here’s the challenge: Jesus’ arrival confronts us with a question—who’s really sitting on the throne of your life? Herod didn’t want to lose control, and if we’re honest, we don’t either. Yet, Jesus, the true King, calls us to trust Him with faith-filled obedience.

The Magi remind us of the importance of our worship to Jesus, showing us we are all invited to worship and surrender our lives to Jesus. Our personal spiritual hunger will open up our lives for God to use us in His Kingdom.

The Christmas story is more than a birth; it’s the moment God came to us. Jesus, called Immanuel, means “God with us,” showing that God isn’t distant but approachable, loving, and present in our lives. Like Joseph and Mary, we’re called to trust and obey God, even in uncertainty, because His presence gives us courage. This Christmas, let’s remember that Jesus is the ultimate reminder that we’re never alone.
