Light for Living - Christmas Eve 2025

Welcome to our podcast!  This is our Christmas Eve service from 2025.  Pastor Matt looks at the Polar Express and ponders how hard it can be to believe.  The trouble isn't believing that Jesus was born, the trouble is believing Jesus' birth makes a livable difference in our lives.  At Christmas, God gives of God's self by giving us Jesus who is the light of the world who guides us to live in unity with God.  Belief isn't a mental exercise, it's a light that shapes our living.  Jesus, the light and life of God, persistently shows up before we feel we holy enough.  Grace comes before we are ready.  Belief isn't pretending that life is fine, it is choosing to live by the light that has already dawned.
