Christmas is Coming: Mighty (Lk. 1:46-55) Chris Altrock – Dec. 23, 2018

This entry is part [part not set] of 2 in the series Christmas is Coming

The Christmas story, and the very first Christmas song, is about a world filled with problems. It’s about a God who used his Spirit of power to send his son to earth as a baby in order to do something about all those problems. But the song and the story doesn’t end there. That same Spirit of power has been given to you so that you might be given to the world, just as Jesus was given to the world. Jesus was not the only gift given at the first Christmas. We, each, are intended as gifts to be given to the world, empowered by the mighty Spirit, in God’s ongoing quest to make this world a better place for all.

In the book Agatha Christie introduces us to twelve people. At first introduction, they seem to be twelve strangers–completely disconnected except for the fact that they are on the same train. These twelve people are distinct from one another in gender, race, income, and education.Read More »God Came Near: Wonder Woman (Lk. 1:46-55) Chris Altrock – 12/17/17
