Simeon and Anna with Jesus

What does it mean to truly embrace Jesus beyond the manger? Pastor Nick challenges us to consider Simeon's profound encounter with the infant Christ—a moment that revealed both promise and warning. Through vivid connections between ancient Jewish redemption practices and Jesus' birth, we discover that while we cherish the baby Jesus of Christmas, we must also confront the grown Savior who "lays bare the thoughts of our hearts." This timely message invites us to celebrate Christmas with deeper meaning by fully receiving Christ in both His gentle and transformative power. Watch now to prepare your heart for a richer holiday experience.
