CCRGV Livestream: Christmas Eve Service 2025 - THE LIGHT HAS COME!

This powerful message takes us on a journey through the foundational principles that sustain vibrant spiritual community. At its heart lies a simple yet profound truth: when Christ is truly at the center of everything we do, transformation becomes inevitable. We're reminded through 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 that Jesus didn't just die to save us from something, but to save us for something - a life no longer lived for ourselves but for Him. This radical exchange forms the bedrock of authentic Christian community. The message beautifully unpacks how keeping Christ central manifests through our love for one another, as Jesus Himself declared that the world would recognize His disciples by their love. We're challenged to see that spiritual maturity isn't measured by knowledge alone, but by how we demonstrate God's love in our daily interactions with fellow believers. The exploration of Nehemiah 8 offers a fascinating glimpse into how God's people prepared their hearts for worship and teaching, standing attentively from morning until midday to hear the Word. This historical account reveals that worship isn't a prelude to the main event - it IS the main event, preparing our hearts to receive truth. When we understand that the foolishness of the message preached saves those who believe, we recognize that every gathering is an opportunity for divine encounter and life transformation.
