What's the real shift from Advent to Christmas? In this message, Pastor Sean takes us from childhood memories of believing in Santa to the profound truth that God incarnated His Word in human flesh. Discover why the early church fought so hard to preserve the truth about who Jesus really is, and how the same Spirit that filled Christ now indwells believers today. This final Advent message prepares us to receive communion and celebrate the God who crossed the line between heaven and earth to be with us.
