Week 5 - All of Us

Christmas Eve brings us to the heart of the story, the moment when the Word became flesh, when heaven touched earth, and when God quietly stepped into our world with an invitation for us to come home.

This final week of The Cast of Christmas draws together every character we’ve studied, the prophets, the angels, the shepherds, the Magi, and asks one powerful question:

How will we respond to Jesus’s arrival?

The birth of Jesus wasn’t loud, glamorous, or forceful. There was no room for Him, no royal welcome, no parade, just a manger, a quiet night, and a God who refuses to force His way into anyone’s life. Instead, He comes the same way He comes to us now: gently, humbly, and with an invitation to open our hearts.

This Christmas Eve, we’ll explore:

• The Arrival and the Invitation

Why Jesus came the way He did, and how His humble birth mirrors the way He invites us today.

• Misguided Responses

How many miss the heart of Christmas by believing God wants “good people,” instead of people willing to draw near through grace.

• Responding Like the Cast of Christmas

• Like the prophets — looking for Him with expectant faith.

• Like the shepherds — moving from curiosity to personal encounter.

• Like the Magi — offering our hearts as our worship and gift.

• Like the angels — proclaiming His glory with joy.

• A Moment to Respond

Christmas Eve isn’t just a story to remember; it’s a Savior to receive. This message invites every person, whether curious, searching, struggling, or celebrating, to respond to Jesus with honesty, openness, and trust.

As we take in the beauty and stillness of Christmas Eve, we’ll remember that the real miracle isn’t simply that Jesus was born in Bethlehem… but that He came for us, to rescue, redeem, and draw us close.

Join us this ONLINE ONLY Christmas Eve message as we celebrate the arrival of our Savior and respond in worship, wonder, and love to the One who came so we could be with Him forever.
