We finish our Advent and Christmas series called “Christmas Feelings.” In it, we have been looking at the familiar feelings that Christmas brings. Our final message is called “Gift of Christmas.” We reflect on how we carry the miracle of Christmas with us as a gift to give and receive all year long.
Our scripture readings come from Isaiah 60:1-6; Ephesians 3:1-12; and Matthew 2:1-12.
Our Christmas series is Gifts of Christmas. Each week we look at a different gift we can give and receive. The message for today is “Acknowledgement” and is a look at how acknowledgement is a gift. What power do our words have? How can we lift others up? What is the gift that we can give? Christ is the gift of Christmas that keeps on giving.
Our scripture reading for today comes from Matthew 2:1-12.
“Strange Visit” is our second message in The Story Goes On. On this Epiphany Sunday we take a look at the visit of the Wise Men. Why is this story in Matthew? What do we know about the visitors? What do we not know? What lessons can we learn from them? Christmas may have passed but the story goes on.
Today we look at the familiar story of the visit of the wise men in “Gift of the Light.” As we look to a new year, let us look for hope renewed. These are the Gifts of the Season.
