Sermon 3

Joseph

We've all had times when it felt like our dreams turned into nightmares. And that was definitely the case for Joseph. Joseph dreamed of getting married and starting a family, but his dream was shattered when he found out his fiance was pregnant.

But even though his dreams were shattered, Joseph realized that God was still with him. And that God would take his broken dreams and turn them into something beautiful.

Sermon 4

Jesus

When we look at a nativity scene, far too often we only see another Christmas decoration. But each of those figurines we place around a manger represents a real person...and that includes the baby in the manger.

Jesus was born into the real world with real problems. So on that first Christmas Day, God truly became one of us knowing what it means to be human so nothing can separate us from him.

Sermon 5

The Shepherds

The first people to hear the good news that the son of God had been born weren't kings or queens, emperors or rulers, or even priests or religious leaders. The first people to hear the good news that Jesus was born were ordinary shepherds.

But why were the shepherds the first to hear the news? It's because God wants us to know that God loves every one of us.

Sermon 6

The Wise Men

By the time January rolls around, most of us are ready to put Christmas behind us. We're worn out from wrapping presents, planning get-togethers, and attending special programs. But if all we focus on after Christmas ends is how busy we've been, we miss the point of Christmas.

But the story of the wise men, which happens years after Jesus was born, reminds us of what Christmas is really about...God becoming one of us.
