When You Are The Present

Dec 28, 2025    Doug Piatt

In a world that’s always chasing the next big thing, this message reminds us of a powerful truth: the greatest gift God gives the world is often a person, not a package. Drawing from Ephesians 2:10, we’re reminded that we are God’s handiwork; intentionally crafted, deeply known, and designed on purpose for a purpose.


From being knit together in the womb to being called into a holy life, Scripture makes it clear that our lives are not accidents or afterthoughts. God formed us with care, prepared good works in advance for us, and invites us to live as living gifts - serving others, reflecting His grace, and stepping into the calling He has already written over our lives. When we understand who we are in Christ, we realize that sometimes we are the present God wants to give the world.
