An Unopened Christmas Gift | A Christmas Story of Faith & Hope


What if the greatest Christmas gift was sitting right in front of you… unopened?

In this heartfelt Christmas message pastor Jesse Waggoner shares a true family story—a living room filled with warmth, laughter, children, and presents under a glowing Christmas tree. As the night winds down, one mysterious gift remains. No one knows who it belongs to.
That moment becomes a powerful picture of a much deeper truth.
Christmas is about a gift God has already given—a gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ. Yet, like that final present under the tree, it’s possible to leave God’s gift unopened.

Through Scripture from Romans 6:23 and Ephesians 2:8, this message explains:
• Why we need a Savior
• What God’s gift truly is
• How salvation is received—not earned
• And how simple faith opens the greatest gift of all

If you’ve ever wondered what it means to believe, to receive God’s grace, or to take a step of faith, this message is for you. And if you already believe, it’s a reminder of the beauty and wonder of the gift we celebrate at Christmas.
Don’t leave the gift unopened.

Merry Christmas, and may God bless you as you celebrate Jesus—the Savior of the world.

The Bible’s Cure for Anxiety (Philippians 4:6–7)

If you’ve ever wrestled with worry, fear, or overwhelming anxious thoughts, this message is for you. In this video, we look directly into God’s Word to discover the Bible’s simple—yet powerful—two-step cure for anxiety: pray and give thanks.

Drawing from Philippians 4:6–7, we explore how prayer shifts the burden from our hands to God’s, how thanksgiving reconnects us to His goodness, and how surrender leads to a peace that “surpasses all understanding.”

You’ll learn:
Why anxiety often grows from our desire to control
How prayer recenters your heart on God rather than fear
How gratitude strengthens faith for today
Why God promises peace when we bring our requests to Him
How He guards both our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus

Whether you’re facing a heavy season or simply need a reminder of God’s care, this teaching will encourage you to rest in the peace only He can provide.
