Christmas has a way of stirring something deep in us. Lights go up, old songs return, and we start to feel that tug toward hope again. Even in a busy season, God invites us to slow down long enough to remember what this whole story is really about. Jesus came near to us, stepped into our world, and brought joy that does not fade when the season ends.

At Lake Lynn, we talk a lot about helping people come home to God. Christmas gives us one of the simplest ways to do that. Not everyone will walk into a church on their own, but many people will come if someone they trust invites them. A simple act of care can open a door God has already prepared.

Sharing the joy of Christmas does not have to be complicated. Start with the people already around you. Friends. Co-workers. Neighbors. The cashier you see every week. Ask God to show you someone who needs encouragement, and then take a small step toward them. Share a meal. Offer a prayer. Start a conversation. Point them toward the hope you have found in Christ.

And when you share something from our church, you are doing more than posting content online. You are giving someone a chance to hear good news. You are helping people see the love of God in a season where many feel alone.

Let’s make this Christmas a time when our church family shines with joy. Let’s share the message that Jesus still welcomes the weary, the searching, and the hurting. Let’s help our community discover the One who brings real peace and lasting hope.

I am grateful to walk through this season with you. Let’s share the joy together.

Come Home for Christmas

This year at Lake Lynn, we are walking through a Christmas series called Come Home for Christmas. Each week I am preaching through the story of Jesus’ arrival and the way God invites us to come home to Him with honest hearts. Christmas is more than the traditions and the noise. It is the moment when God stepped into the world with real hope and real light.

We are looking at the people who were there that first Christmas. People who were tired. People who felt overlooked. People who were carrying questions and doubts. And yet God met each one of them with grace. Mary needed courage. Joseph needed direction. The shepherds needed joy. The world needed a Savior. God answered every need through His Son.

My hope is that this series shows how the Christmas story reaches into our lives today. Jesus still meets us in the middle of ordinary days. He still speaks peace into anxious hearts and steady hope into worn out lives. If someone has been away from church or unsure where they stand with God, this series is a simple place to begin again.

Celebrate our Christmas Eve service at 4 PM. It will be a quiet, meaningful time for families to gather, reflect, and celebrate the birth of Jesus together.

If you are searching for direction, rest, or a way to reconnect with God, I hope you will come home this Christmas. There is room for you at Lake Lynn.
