The Search

We are all searching. Searching for peace in the pressure of life, purpose in the chaos, love that truly lasts, and hope that endures beyond the moment. We try to find it in many places — in the approval of friends, the success of our careers, the excitement of new experiences, or the comfort of possessions. Yet, no matter how much we accumulate or achieve, something still feels incomplete.The story of Christmas reminds us that while we have been searching for meaning, God has been searching for us. From the very beginning, He has been pursuing a relationship with us, longing to draw us close. And in Jesus, God stepped into our world — not from a distance, but into our messy, complicated, everyday lives.Christmas isn’t just a story from the past — it’s a living invitation to encounter the One who makes all things new.In Jesus, the search is over.Preacher:Sermon by Pete StevenFind out more at cityonahill.com.au/christmas
