This Sunday Is Online Only 🎥 2026 Starts Now. One Decision Changes Everything.
Merry Christmas, Mars Hill FamilyBefore anything else, I want to say it plainly: Merry Christmas. I pray this season has given you a moment to breathe, reflect, and remember that the whole reason we do this is because God chose to enter our chaos. Emmanuel. God with us. Now, let's finish the year strong. All of this reminds me how grateful I am for you. As we celebrate Christmas in a couple of days, I look forward to seeing you at our next in-person service, Sunday, January 11, 2026 (save the date). I would love for you to make it a priority to be in the room, to worship together, and to refocus your heart on the One this season is really about. This Sunday: This Is the Year We Stop DriftingDate: December 28, 2025 Time: 10:30 AM CST Location: Online Only Most people don't walk away from God. They just stop paying attention. They stay busy, informed, and involved, but their faith becomes passive. This Sunday, I'm delivering the 2026 Vision Message. We are making one shift this year: From consumption to formation. No more drifting. No more waiting to feel ready. No more outsourcing your spiritual growth. This is not a recovery year. This is not a survival year. This is a formation year.
