Sunday December 3rd- Sunday December 24th
Even as a Christ follower…
Sometimes, overwhelm of life circumstances, a strained or broken relationship, a loss of someone close, a battle with disease or health challenge, a deep-seeded contention with self-worth, or a conflict with past decisions can all leave us feeling lost in the shadows, especially during the holiday season.
Sometimes when a cloud of darkness and heartache looms.... Not even the nostalgia of seasonal family traditions can lift it.
Though these traditions and celebrations aren't inherently bad, what if we take off the sparkly and rose colored glasses, given to us by our modern culture, and really look at the Christmas story?
More than 2000 years ago there was an anticipation for the arrival of a king, and a savior ( redeemer). Although this was true he did not come as they expected. Jesus is and always has been king but he stepped down from his throne in heaven and was born in human flesh; He was born for us the broken.
THIS is the story that we can put our true hope and faith into.
THIS is what shines light into those shadowy places!
