Our final (and Christmas Eve, reflection). We join the wise men who have come to the end of their travels. Their bowing down and their offerings reminded me of Romans 12
This short Advent reflection invites you to see being Fully You as an act of worship: offering your whole life, embodied and honest, to God. A gentle encouragement to live who He’s called you to be this Christmas and into 2026.

In this special live, family-style message, Lou invites both children and adults to rediscover what it really means to eagerly desire the gifts of the Spirit.
Starting with the Parable of the Talents, we explore how God gives each of us natural gifts to invest and grow, not for our glory, but for Kingdom purpose. But it doesn’t stop there. God doesn’t just give us skills; He equips us with spiritual gifts that, when combined with our natural talents, allow us to serve powerfully and love deeply.
Drawing from 1 Corinthians, Lou shares how the early church at Corinth had turned spiritual gifts into a competition, a bit of “Corinth’s Got Talent” and how Paul reminded them that the goal is not performance, but love. A mature and healthy church is one that is both loving and supernaturally Spirit-filled.
Together, we reflect on what might be holding us back from eagerly desiring the gifts of the Spirit and discover practical ways to begin saying yes to all God has for us.
This message will stir both heart and imagination for children, adults, and anyone longing to see the Holy Spirit move more freely in their lives and churches.
