Join us tonight at 6:30 as we come together to celebrate Jesus is the Heart of Christmas

12/18/2022

At just the right time, Jesus came into the world. He came to free us from the crushing weight of the law. We could never be good enough to earn salvation, so Jesus lived a perfect life on our behalf. Why? Because of love. God wanted us to be a part of his family. Out of love, he adopted us through the work of Christ. We are now the sons and daughters of God. Jesus is our brother and we can rest in the love of the Father.

There is no love that compares to the love of the Father God.

I don’t have to work to be good enough to receive God’s love. It is already mine in Jesus.

Stop striving to gain God’s approval. You are invited into his family by his grace and love. Share his love with others around you.

Thoughts for the Week:

1. What kind of effect should God’s love have on us?
2. Why do you think Paul uses the imagery of a family to communicate how God feels about you?
3. What benefit of being in God’s family that is listed in Ephesians 1:3-14 is most exciting and encouraging to you? Why?
4. What is one practical way to share God’s love with someone else this week?

This Morning let us remember The Heart of Christmas Is Love

12/11/2022

The circumstances of life have a way of robbing us of joy. Disappointment, frustration, and loss can suck the very life from us; however, Jesus’s birth reminds us that, no matter how hard life is, we don’t have to go through it alone. God has come to us full of grace and truth, and that should bring us joy. We can trust that Jesus’s presence with us will reveal the truth about our lives and at the same time will offer us the grace to see things change.

Jesus is committed to being honest with us about what we need to repent from. He is also committed to extending grace and mercy to remind us that we are loved beyond measure.

God wanted to be near to us in order to rescue us. The arrival of Jesus brings us joy because he is the very presence of the divine.

Receive the correction of God through Christ. At the same time, receive the grace of God through Christ.

Thoughts for the week:
1. Why does the joy we experience in life seem to be so circumstantial?
2. How is the incarnation unique to the Christian faith? How does it shape your ideas of sin and forgiveness?
3. When was a time in life that you received grace? How did it make you feel?
4. How can your deep abiding joy impact the world around you?

The Heart of Christmas Brings Joy In All Circumstances

12/04/2022

The announcement of Jesus’s birth was delivered to shepherds who lived on the fringe of society, in the fields, watching their sheep by night. If a king were born to the world, you would expect these shepherds to be the last ones to know about it. Yet, the heavenly angels told them that peace was coming to the earth for those on whom God’s favor rested. What a shocking message! God’s favor was even on the shepherds. They were being offered peace; and if it could be given to them, we can rest assured it is offered to us as well. Now that is good news for a world that is in turmoil!

Jesus’s birth offers us peace in the middle of our difficulties and stresses.

Peace is not the absence of conflict; it is the presence of Christ.

Take time to share with God the stresses of your life and trust that His favor is on you today. He longs to bring you peace.

Thoughts for the Week

1. What kinds of things tend to rob peace from people’s lives?
2. How is the presence of God and the presence of peace related?
3. Why is Christ’s sacrifice necessary to reconcile us to God? To ourselves? To others?
4. What is one practical way to live life as a peacemaker?

Join us this morning as we Find Peace in the Heart of Christmas

The prophet Isaiah writes one of the most classic of all Old Testament prophecies about the coming birth of Christ. The passage he writes is born of gloom and darkness. The world had felt the full weight of sin, and it had wreaked havoc on all of creation. What Isaiah offered in chapter nine was something the Jewish people needed more than anything—hope. Hope that one day someone would come to make all things right and restore what had been broken. The birth of Jesus was the fulfillment of that hope and it offers us hope in our lives today.

Think: The birth of Jesus was something promised that actually came to pass. We can trust Jesus is still working today, and that gives us hope.

No matter what we are facing in life right now, anything is possible through the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.

Consider the way God has been faithful in the past to give us hope for the present and future.

Thoughts for the week

1. How would you define hope in your own words?
2. How is Jesus’ birth the fulfillment of long-awaited hope?
3. Why is it so hard to wait on God to move in our lives?
4. How has God been faithful in your life?
5. How does that strengthen your trust in Him?
