Christmas Isn't Over

Christmas Isn't Over

Author: Epikos Church December 28, 2025 Duration: 1:04:28
Whether you’re joining us from home after Christmas or stepping into the new year with us for the first time, we’re so glad you’re here. This special at-home gathering invites our Epikos family into a long-form conversation centered on Advent—not as a season that ends in December, but as a way of living all year long. Together, our leaders reflect on what it means to wait with hope, faith, joy, and peace as we anticipate the second coming of Jesus. From personal stories and church history to Scripture and everyday practices, this conversation reminds us that Christmas doesn’t end—it shapes how we live, trust, and love in the midst of a broken world. We’re also looking ahead: in-person services resume January 4 at all Epikos campuses, and we can’t wait to worship together as we begin the new year. Thank you to everyone who gave so generously this year, supporting people, places, and programs with gospel impact across our city. If you’d like to participate in what God is doing through Epikos, consider giving a year-end gift at epikos.org/give. Grace and peace as you wait, trust, rejoice, and walk forward with us.
