The Comfort of Christmas, Part 2 -- The Comfort of Obedience
On this third Sunday of Advent, we look at the surprising way in which the lives of Joseph and Mary foreshadowed the way in which their Son - Jesus - would fulfill His divine mission. Both the parents and the Son, when faced with monumental tests and trials, responded righteously in obedience. Through the obedience of the parents, the Savior was born. Through the obedience of the Savior, the world will be saved.

The Miracle That Changed Our World
Mary's chaste character is highlighted by the description of her as a virgin. In this account by Luke, he clearly attributes Jesus' conception to the Holy Spirit. The virgin birth of Jesus is unique and superior from the birth of any other person that has ever lived, truly a miracle of God. I hope that as you leave the service today you will be encouraged to believe God for the impossible in your life. ~ Pastor Mel

personal crash
mary is confronted by gabriel and told her womb will become a "holy of holies" for the messiah. what becomes evident is the place of tension she finds herself in. she is given an incredible privilege to be the mother of jesus but also an incredible detriment. this tension is where we find ourselves when called to follow jesus. the question becomes will we respond like mary or like countless others?

Advent 2, Luke 1, Magnificat
In Jesus, God demonstrates His holiness, His righteousness, yes, that’s what the cross is about… but most of all, this whole thing happened all those years ago so that God could show you His mercy. So that even if He judges all the wrong in the world, no one who doesn’t want to face that judgment need do so. God has kept His word. God has given us a Savior.
