Christmas looks good on the surface. Lights. Music. Traditions. Family.

But beneath all of that, Christmas still needs saving.

In this message from John 3:1–18, we look at why Jesus came and what His coming means for us. Jesus saves Christmas from death by bringing new life to those who cannot save themselves. And He saves Christmas from silence by sending rescued people to speak, share, and point others to Him.

Christmas is not about better effort or better traditions. It is about new life. And that life was never meant to stay quiet.

Christmas can feel familiar. Almost too familiar. We know the songs, the story, and the traditions. And if we're not careful, that familiarity can slowly turn into boredom.

In this message from Mark 6:1–6, we see Jesus return to His hometown and be dismissed by the very people who knew Him best. They weren't rejecting Him because He lacked power. They missed Him because they thought they already knew Him.

This message reminds us that Christmas doesn't lose its power because the story isn't true. It loses its power when we stop being amazed by it. Jesus came close. And He invites us to see Him again with fresh eyes, renewed wonder, and a heart that remembers why He came at all.

David Leventhal teaches from Matthew 13:44–46, where Jesus presents two parables that reveal the surpassing worth of the Kingdom of Heaven. In a cultural moment saturated with commercialism, Jesus calls us to see Him as the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Value—the One who brings true joy, identity, and freedom.

We explore why commercialism has such a strong pull, how these parables dismantle the lie of "not enough," and what it means to reorient our lives around Jesus. You'll also be equipped with reflection questions to help you slow down and behold Christ during the Christmas season.
