The Gift of ReCreation
We began this series by looking at Christmas as an act whereby God was giving us a gift or gifts. First, Christmas is a gift of initiation. It is Immanuel - God with us! God came to us. It is Incarnation - God among us as one of us. God did not wait for us to ask or earn the gift of His presence - He chose to make it happen. Second, we say that Christmas gift of compassion. Christmas is a love story. It is the story of God's passionate pursuing love. It is the story of undeserved, unreturned love. God loved us in spite of us, and we now have the opportunity to share the love. Last week, we explored Christmas as a gift of reconciliation. Tonight, we see that the result of all this is a radical ReCreation.

The Gift of Reconciliation
The Advent Conspiracy is an international movement restoring the scandal of Christmas by substituting compassion for consumption. It is a catalyst to help us to engage in the Christmas story in a way that will transform us as we worship Christ at Christmas. At its heart, it is an attempt to participate in Christmas in such a way that our participation is a reflection of the event, and the Person being celebrated. He is the reason for the season…so let’s make sure our celebrations are about Him….about Jesus. To do this, we are inviting you into four aspects of the Advent Conspiracy: • Worship Fully - Real Worship • Spend Less - Resisting Consumerism • Give More - Relational Giving • Love All - Redistribution of our Wealth We want to help you really worship Christ this season. We want to see you do it in such a way that the Kingdom of God is manifested. We want to see you be incarnational in your gift giving this year. And we want to make a visible, physical impact on the world by taking an offering on Christmas that will be a blessing. This year, we want to give the gift of life just as we were given the gift of life. OUR THEME: GOD’S GIFT: FREELY GIVEN, FREELY GIVE OUR TEXT: ROMANS 5:1-11 OUR TOPIC: THE GIFT OF RECONCILIATION
