But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.” Luke 2:10
As we learned last week, joy is an act of courage. My prayer for you this week has been that you can truly embrace and choose the fullness of joy found through a relationship with Jesus. With Jesus our joy is complete. Apart from Jesus, joy will forever be incomplete.
This Advent season, it’s easy to get lost in the lights, decor, parties and busyness…our souls long for the truth and hope that we know is found in the person of Christmas, Jesus. I know you are making plans now, inviting friends and family to join you at our Christmas Eve services. These experiences are full of beauty, wonder and power as we celebrate the truth and joy of Christmas…the hope of Jesus coming to us! We always plan to have enough services and seats for you and all of your friends, and for everyone to have the best possible experience, I want to invite as many of you as possible to join us on Dec 23 at 4 or 6p. These services tend to be less crowded with more available parking and seats in the Worship Center. This will be an amazing time as we celebrate Christmas together!
This weekend, we continue in our Advent series and Doug Fields will be back with us teaching on Love. I’m looking forward to seeing you all this coming week and at one of our Christmas services! Be sure to stop by and introduce me to your friends and family…it’s gonna be a great week!
Peace…
