Pastor Ashley reflects on Christmas wisdom through familiar Christmas movies, especially The Grinch, to explore the power of belief. She explains how deeply held beliefs shape behavior, relationships, and identity, using Cindy Lou and the Grinch as examples of hope and self protection. The sermon highlights how past pain can distort belief, but loving community and truth can renew it. When beliefs shift toward God’s perspective, lives are transformed. Drawing from Romans 12:2, Pastor Ashley encourages intentional reflection so that Christmas endures beyond the season, renewing minds, restoring worth, and grounding believers in love, belonging, and hope.
