Merry Christmas Eve, to each one of you.

I want to thank you for being such a faithful group over this entire year, 2025.

Just a few short days will inaugurate a brand new year, and I want to talk to you a bit about

what that's going to look like here at Everyday Truth. But before I do that, just want to talk to you a bit about what that's going to look like here at

Everyday Truth. But before I do that, just want to wish you a very Merry Christmas.

Hope you have a great, great season over these next few days with family and with your church

family. I love what we do here at Faith Baptist. We have a Christmas Eve service.

It's my favorite service of the year. And we've grown so much that we actually have a couple

different services on Christmas Eve, 4 o'clock and 6 o'clock, and just love it. I love the special music. It's mostly music.

We have a great orchestra and our music team does an amazing job. And then of course we read the

Christmas story and I always bring a message from Luke chapter 2.

Emphasize the gospel, because that's what the angel did.

He emphasized the gospel in Luke chapter 2, unto you is born this day in the city of David,

a savior, which is Christ the Lord.

Good news, good tidings of great joy.

That's what it is. It's the gospel.

And so we always emphasize that on Christmas Eve. And then, of course, we end with the lighting of the candles, hoping that the children won't burn the church down. And then we sing silent night

together, Acapellaella to end the service.
