The Last Word Before the First Christmas

Christmas Sunday — Preparing the Way (Malachi 4:4–6)On Christmas Sunday, we step into the silence between the Old and New Testaments and discover how God prepares hearts before He fulfills His promises. From Malachi’s final words to the arrival of John the Baptist, this message invites us into the season of Advent as a time of waiting, remembering, and preparing. As we look ahead to Christmas Eve, we’ll see how God restores hearts before He changes circumstances—and how the longing of Israel helps make the manger meaningful for us today.
