At Christmas, we celebrate the moment when the truth of Jesus’ abundance broke into our reality of scarcity.

The sermon "Ingredient Jesus" discusses how our society is consumed by endless choices, leading to decision fatigue and a distorted view of Jesus. Many treat their faith like a spiritual buffet, picking and choosing only what suits them. Others have been hurt by false representations of Jesus and fear making another wrong choice. The goal is to encounter the real Jesus by surrendering our self-made idols. Jesus offers a unique, genuine, and abundant life that can only be found by making Him the main ingredient in our lives.
