This week, Pastor Chris shares a powerful message on John 3:16–17 and the heart of the Father behind sending Jesus into the world—not to condemn it, but to save it. Through Scripture and story, he reminds us that this gift—Jesus—is not only the doorway to salvation, but the way we enter into family, community, peace, and eternal connection with God.

In this message, you’ll discover:
• The truth behind why Jesus came
• How God's gift reveals the heart of the Giver
• What happens when shame makes us feel shut out—and how grace meets us right there
• A story that will melt your heart this Christmas

✨ The door was never locked. The Father’s heart is always open. Will you walk through it?
