What If…?

Hi Everybody,

“I’m dreaming of a White Christmas…”  What a view out my window. I’m in awe!

Don’t forget our Christmas Eve Candlelight Service will start at 5PM tonight. This one hour of remembering the incredible story that we still celebrate two millenniums later is a wonderful way to start your Christmas holiday. Come early as seating fills fast!

What if God hadn’t sent Jesus? What if He had just sent us another set of laws?…or a business plan?…or an ultimatum?…or a dictator that would make us do His will?…or, or…or… . Aren’t you glad He sent us Jesus? And aren’t you glad He sent him as a baby? And in a manger? And announced it to shepherds? I can’t imagine one detail of the story being better if He changed it. The mystery and magic of this incredible world changing story makes me laugh and cry and rejoice. It brings a deep settled peace and assurance that I am loved and everything is going to be okay in the world. It makes me want to be more loving and kind and protective and good and just. It makes me fall in love all over again.

Jesus… I’m so glad this is how God showed us who He really is!

See you tonight!

Don’t forget to join Pastor Paul and the worship team for an evening of gratitude and communion at 6PM on December 27^th.

Liz Gorham will be sharing her heart Sunday Evening, January 3^rd. You won’t want to miss either of these.

Brenda and I will fly back in on January 5^th.
