O Come All Ye Weary (12/7/25)

Every December seems to promise “peace on earth,” yet most of us feel more like we’re living in “panic at the mall.” We race, we spend, we wrap, we perform… and somewhere between the errands and the expectations, our souls quietly run out of steam. But what if the real gift of Christmas isn’t one more thing to do — but the rest your heart has been craving? In this message, Pastor Mike Collins unwraps a truth that runs from Creation, through Israel’s longing, all the way to Bethlehem and an empty tomb: God has always been inviting His people into rest — the deep, soul-level, life-restoring kind that nothing in this world can manufacture.
