NOTE: We are meeting at 3:30 pm for Sunday Services… See you then!

Two things led me to our holiday sermon series: Incarnation. First, the holidays for the Christian should drive us to Jesus. Thanksgiving gives us a chance to thank God for all of the blessings he has bestowed on us. God’s grace in salvation and God’s continued work in each of our lives leads us to give thanks. And specifically we thank God for his great love proven by Jesus coming to us as the rescuing Savior - Incarnation. Christmas reminds us that God came near - Incarnation. We celebrate God’s plan of salvation starting in the manger with the baby Jesus. Incarnation makes the rest of the New Testament make sense and come alive!

Second, the fact that the Christian faith would be worthless without the incarnation shows us the importance of this doctrine. There are a few doctrines that make Christianity rise or fall - Resurrection, The Person of God, The Truth of the Bible, etc. Incarnation must be true for Jesus’ work to be effective and purposeful. Without Jesus as the God-Man our faith would not exist. We celebrate this baby Jesus each Christmas.

So for the next few weeks we will set aside Acts and focus on the incarnation of Jesus. May God lead us to deeper faith and more robust worship!
