Weekend Messages at Grand Point Church
Christmas Eve at Grand Point Church
On this special Christmas Eve episode, Pastor Lawrence shares the powerful and often-overlooked story of Simeon—the elderly man who had waited his entire life to hold the infant Savior in his arms.
When Simeon finally embraced baby Jesus in the temple, he spoke a prayer that reveals the very heart of God: "My eyes have seen your salvation which you have prepared in the sight of all the nations." He understood what so many in the Christmas story missed—that Jesus came to embrace ALL of humanity with God's love.
In this moving message, discover:
- The profound moment when promise and fulfillment meshed in the temple courts
- Why God is determined to come close to a broken world
- How Simeon's understanding of Jesus challenges our own
- What it means to embrace the world with arms of grace
- Our mission to help others experience transformation through Christ
This Christmas, you're invited to follow Simeon's example and make a resolution to embrace the world with the love of Jesus.
