Gift Wrapped: Grace Delivered in Jesus
This Christmas, unwrap the wonder of grace in the person of Christ.
The Christmas season is full of lights, gifts, and traditions—but there is something even better waiting to be opened: grace.
Not the kind of grace you earn.
Not the kind that runs out.
But a grace that comes wrapped in a Person - Jesus - offered freely to the world. Whether you’re exploring faith or returning to it… whether this season feels joyful or heavy… you’re invited to journey with a community of people discovering the beauty, the mystery, and the hope of the original Christmas story.
Here’s where we’re heading together this December:
Week 1 - The Promise Wrapped in Flesh
Before there was a manger, there was a promise. Long before shepherds, angels, or gifts, God spoke hope into a world that desperately needed it.
This week, we unwrap the promise that began in Eden and took shape in prophecy—fulfilled in the birth of Jesus.
Week 2 - The Glory Wrapped in Humility
Christmas is not about God showing off—it’s about God stepping down. Jesus didn’t arrive in power or prestige, but in poverty and humility.
This week reveals how the greatest glory came quietly, gently, beautifully… and why humility is the doorway to grace.
Week 3 - The Love Wrapped in Suffering
Christmas is beautiful, but it isn’t just cozy—it’s costly. Even in the cradle, the cross was already in view.
This week explores a love so deep, so fierce, and so committed that it entered the world knowing it would bleed.
Week 4 - The Life Wrapped in Light
Light has come into the world—and darkness doesn’t get the last word.
This week shines a spotlight on Jesus as the Light of the World, breaking into darkness with hope, truth, and transforming grace.
Christmas Eve — Unwrapped: The Fullness of Grace in Christ
All the promises, all the love, all the purpose, all the light—delivered in a single Person. Christmas Eve brings the story to its climax: Jesus is the Gift.
The fullness of God’s grace… unwrapped for you.
You’re Invited!
Come as you are.
Bring your questions.
Bring your family.
Bring your hope… and even your hurt.
This season is about a God who came near -
a God who stepped into the story -
a God who wrapped grace in flesh so the world could know His love.
We’d love to share Christmas with you.
