In this communion message, we reflect on more than a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes. Scripture tells us that when the shepherds saw Jesus, they couldn’t be silent — they were amazed at what God had done. We remember why that amazement still matters. From the manger — a feeding trough made of wood — to the cross made of a tree, Jesus came as the Bread of Life, broken for us. His body was given....

In this message, Because of Christmas, Pastor Keith Cross walks through Galatians 3:29–4:7 and reminds us why Jesus came: • To redeem those under the law • To adopt us into God’s family • To move us from slavery to sonship We weren’t innocent when God chose us. We weren’t worthy when He adopted us. Yet He intentionally sought us out, redeemed us, and welcomed us home as His children.

Saying what you’re feeling — because u...
