Dec 7, 2025 Service / Advent - No Longer Distant From God / Darryl Janzen

Have you ever felt distant from God—as if His holiness and your brokenness can’t meet? For the people of ancient Israel, priests bridged that gap through sacrifices and prayer. But at Christmas Jesus came to be the perfect bridge - experiencing life as we do, though without sin. Through Him, we can come to God with confidence, receiving mercy, grace, help, healing, and forgiveness. Matthew 2:10–11 When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy. And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and myrrh. Hebrews 10:10 And by that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Hebrews 4:14–16 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
