Finding Christmas isn’t about decorations, traditions, or getting everything just right.

It’s about a search most of us know well, looking for peace, meaning, hope, or relief in the middle of busy lives and crowded expectations.

In this Christmas Eve message, Pastor Alvin Brown invites you into the familiar story of the wise men and connects it to a simple question many of us carry, often without realizing it.

What if the thing you’re looking for isn’t where you expected it to be?

Through the ancient story of a quiet birth, this sermon reflects on how God often shows up in overlooked places and how encountering Jesus can gently change our direction.

Whether you’re full of faith, full of questions, or somewhere in between, this message speaks to anyone who’s ever felt like they were searching for something more this Christmas.

Truth be told, all families have a way of turning love into a competition of comparing and keep score.

We measure who’s winning, who’s on par, yet soon to fall behind, and who’s flat out losing.

In this message from our Advent series A Family Christmas, we step into one of the most painfully relatable family stories in Scripture and see what happens when approval, worth, and belonging get treated like something you have to earn.

This sermon speaks to anyone who’s tired of chasing validation, exhausted from family tension, or stuck in patterns they didn’t choose but somehow inherited.

It’s an honest look at rivalry, longing, and the quiet cost of always keeping score, paired with the hope of a grace that meets us right in the middle of the mess.

Whether you’re navigating complicated relationships, carrying old wounds, or just wondering if rest is possible, this message points to a different way forward.

One where worth isn’t won, love isn’t negotiated, and grace is received, not earned.

If this resonates, join us to reflect, and consider where you and your family might need to let go of the scorecard this Christmas.

We all know what it’s like to put something on that doesn’t fit, and that isn’t really us.

A version of ourselves meant to fit in, keep the peace, or get what we think we need.

In this message from Genesis 27, we step into a family story that feels uncomfortably familiar. A story about favoritism, fear, control, and the quiet ways pretending starts to shape our lives.

The Cost of Pretending looks at what happens when good intentions drift into unhealthy patterns and when chasing blessing starts to cost us our honesty, our peace, and our trust.

It speaks to anyone who feels tired of managing outcomes, wearing masks, or trying to earn what they hope will finally make them feel secure.

Whether you’re close to faith, curious about Jesus, or carrying family baggage you didn’t ask for, this message points to a deeper hope.

One where you don’t have to fake your way into love, belonging, or blessing. One where you can authentically be who God intended for you to be without pretending.
