In this message, Pastor Ryan opens the Gospel of John and shows us Christmas from God’s perspective—not starting in Bethlehem, but before time itself began. John pulls back the curtain and reveals Jesus as the eternal Word: the One who existed before everything, speaks life into us, brings light into our darkness, and cannot be overcome.
In this one-off message, Pastor Ryan walks through Luke 17 and the story of the ten lepers—a story that exposes how easy it is to receive God’s blessing without responding to the One who gave it. It’s a message about slowing down, remembering, and learning to see God’s goodness in the middle of real-life chaos.
This week’s message wraps up our Heart for the House series with the topic most of us feel the tension around: giving. But not giving out of guilt or pressure—giving that flows from grace, trust, and ownership.
