Day 26: Luke 2:8-20

By Pastor Phil  Christmas Day! The arrival! The Son of God is born! It is the biggest story, the greatest news in the history of the world. God has become man, born of woman, come to live among us and save us from our sins. It’s the story that must be shared with the world.…

Day 25: Luke 2:1-7

By Pastor Jeff     I think it’s neat how Christmas is sometimes celebrated differently in every household. Some put presents under the tree unwrapped on Christmas morning, while some can’t wait until Christmas morning so they celebrate on Christmas Eve, while others make long journeys across the land to arrive at their loved ones home…

Day 24: Matthew 1:18-25

By Pastor Brittany   I’ve heard the story many of times of Jesus’ birth and God’s promises that lead to that wonderful moment when the Messiah entered the world.

Day 23: Micah 5:2-5

By Pastor Sarah   This passage is a reminder to me of 3 things: that God is faithful to His promises, however small or big they might be, that God is at work in all things, and that God is attentive to the details. How did I get all of that from these few verses? I’m…

Day 19: Luke 1:57-66

By Pastor Brittany    A baby is born. What a great day it is when a baby is born. It doesn’t even matter if I know the baby, I can be scrolling through Facebook and see someone posted a picture of their great-niece twice removed and I still say “oh, how sweet is she?” Babies…

Day 18: Luke 1:46-56

By Pastor Sarah   The songs of Christmas are part of the beauty of the season, but sometimes they become the background music to everything else that happens – shopping, eating, decorating – rather than the starring role. I love to sing at Christmas time! Songs of joy, peace, comfort, and The Story fill the…

Day 17: Luke 1:39-45
