This is such a special time of the year in the life of the church. I pray this season will have a profound and life-changing impact on your life. I am particularly excited about the Sunday morning services. It is important to “Recapture the Wonder of Christmas” in our lives.
We began the Advent season with the children’s musical, which was an important part of our Christmas celebration. The musical was entitled, “No Wonder.” It challenged us to consider being generous to those in need at this time of year.
On December 9th we will look at “The Wonder of the Promise.” I encourage you to study Isaiah 7-14. This is an excellent place in the Bible to find the predictions of the coming of the Messiah.
On December 16th we will focus on “The Wonder of the Season.” I encourage you to take time to consider the special people in your life. We have a great deal to thank God for during this Christmas season. Consider the wonder of the Christ child during this time of year.
On December 23rd we will reflect on “The Wonder of the Story.” The coming of the Messiah impacted the lives of those who were part of the Christmas story. Consider the thoughts of Mary, Joseph, the shepherds and the Magi. They will help unfold the message of Christmas.
Finally on December 24th we will celebrate “The Wonder of the Manger.” As the shepherds and the magi came to worship the Christ child, we too can bow in reverence and worship because Jesus Christ came into this world to rescue us and give us hope and a future!
May God bless you in a special way this Christmas season.
