Pastor Travis Hearn opened his Christmas Eve message by comparing the childhood game of hide-and-seek to the spiritual condition of many adults. He observed that while children hide hoping to be found, adults often hide from God, hoping to stay concealed in the darkness of sin, shame, pride, addiction, and other strongholds. This hiding leads to isolation and a loss of identity. The core message, titled 'Come Out Wherever You Are,' is that Christmas represents God stepping into human darkness not to condemn but to rescue. Pastor Travis presented three hard truths: first, hiding from God does not bring freedom but imprisonment; second, it is possible to live in spiritual darkness while believing you are in the light, deceived by desires that Satan baits like a fisherman; and third, the light of Christ comes not to expose and shame but to save and heal. He emphasized that God is a seeking Father who calls out, 'Where are you?' not for information but for transformation, inviting us to step out of the shadows and into His wonderful light. The sermon concluded with a powerful call to salvation and a reminder that darkness does not get the final word.
