The Christ of Christmas

"Jesus is the reason for the season." "Keep Christ in Christmas." Those popular phrases are good reminders for us as we go through the hustle and bustle of the Christmas holiday. However, it’s not enough to just say those things. We need to remember why Jesus is so worthy of our focus during this special season and every day following. So let’s ask God to use this sermon series to give us a renewed sense of wonder as we talk and think about The Christ of Christmas.

The Bible’s Best Words

Connected

Everyone longs for real connection, and everyone looks for it in different places. Yet no matter how much time has passed, the best example of what authentic, meaningful connection looks like is found in the pages of scripture. In this series, “Connected: The Blueprint for Biblical Community,” we will study 4 major ways the early Church truly connected, and we will seek to apply that to the way we function as the Church today.

The Answer

1 Peter 3:15 instructs us to “always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.” Thankfully, we don’t have to look very far to find an answer to such an important question. We just need to point people to the Cross of Christ and to His empty tomb. In this 4 week series, Pastor Chris will remind us that the events surrounding Easter should be what we focus on and celebrate every day of our lives.
