This Sunday

Sunday, December 14th, 2025
9:00AM & 10:45AM

Hey folks!

As we continue through this Christmas season, I’m reminded of the wise men who traveled hundreds of miles just to worship Jesus. When they finally found Him, they opened their treasures and brought their very best — not out of obligation, but out of overwhelming joy. Their story reminds us that worship isn’t just something we sing… it’s something we bring.

This Sunday, we continue our series Come Back to the Heart of Worship. We’ll look at what it truly means to honor God by giving Him our best — our worship, our trust, and our generosity.

My prayer is that God uses this message to stir fresh joy and faith in your heart as we celebrate the One who gave everything for us. May your home be filled with peace, hope, and the presence of Jesus as you walk through this season.

I can’t wait to worship with you this Sunday at the Muncie Civic at 9 or 10:45am!

– Chris
