In this final service of the year, we pause to give thanks for all who serve and sustain the mission of God’s Kingdom, while inviting our community into rest and renewal. Returning to The Chosen and the Nativity story, we reflect on the supernatural moments surrounding Jesus’ birth and the difficult calling placed on Mary and Joseph. Scripture reminds us that hard seasons, uncertainty, and tension are often a normal part of faithfully building God’s Kingdom. Yet God never calls without also providing strength, encouragement, and His presence. Through dreams, revelation, and the work of the Spirit, God reassures us that He is moving even in the midst of difficulty. As we close the year, we are invited to exhale, surrender our lives into God’s hands, and trust Him to carry us from darkness to light and into the season ahead.
