In Week 3 of our Christmas at the Movies series, Pastor Rob Schwartz takes us into the heart of the Christmas classic It’s a Wonderful Life to remind us of a powerful truth we often forget.

Your life matters.

Through the story of George Bailey, we’re invited to see how God uses ordinary people, ordinary faithfulness, and even ordinary struggles to accomplish extraordinary purpose. When life feels heavy, discouraging, or unseen, this message speaks hope into the quiet places of the heart.

Pastor Rob challenges us to reflect on the impact of our lives, the unseen influence we have on others, and the truth that God is always at work, even when we cannot see it. What feels small to us is never small to God.

If you’ve ever wondered whether your life makes a difference, or questioned your purpose in the middle of hardship, this message will encourage you and remind you that God is writing a story bigger than you realize.

Listen in and be encouraged. It really is a wonderful life when God is at the center of it.

In this week’s message, Pastor Kim brings a powerful and heartfelt word using the film A Boy Called Christmas to remind us that hope is not just a feeling — it’s a force that changes everything.

Drawing from the story’s themes and Scripture, she unpacks four truths about hope that speak directly to the moments when life feels dark, uncertain, or disappointing:

1. Hope Starts Small — It often begins as a spark, a whisper, or a simple step of faith.

2. Hope Requires Courage — Because choosing to believe again is one of the bravest things we’ll ever do.

3. Hope Blooms — When we plant hope in our hearts, God grows it into something beautiful.

4. Hope Spreads — Real hope doesn’t stay contained; it inspires and strengthens everyone around us.

Whether you're holding onto hope, searching for it, or needing it to be rekindled, this message will lift your heart and remind you that the God who brought hope into the world still brings hope into our lives today.

Listen in and be encouraged — hope is closer than you think.

In this kickoff to our annual Christmas at the Movies series, Pastor Chris uses the timeless story of A Christmas Carol to show how grace can thaw even the coldest heart. From the Ghost of Christmas Past to the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, we discover how God heals our wounds, confronts our present reality, and invites us into a brand-new future.

Whether you feel stuck in old patterns, shaped by past pain, or unsure of the path ahead — this message will remind you that your story isn’t set in stone. God is still writing. Grace is still moving. And a new heart is still available.

Scripture Highlights:
Ezekiel 36:26, Titus 2:11, 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 15:13

Listen in and be encouraged — if God can rewrite Scrooge’s story in a single night, imagine what He can do in your heart today.
