Our morning prayer in this season has a whole different flavor for us… and we don’t mean eggnog (although Scott LOVES Detroit’s own Calder’s Eggnog)! Every Scripture is inviting us into the story of God becoming man.We are captivated, challenged and envisioned!
We have been studying the story of Christmas for about 3 decades now (yes, we’re officially old pastors) and we can’t get over it! In the past 3 weeks we’ve been hanging over scriptures about prophets that foretold the event hundreds of years before Christ, we’ve been humbled in the “His-story” of God using places like Bethlehem and people like shepherds (click here to view those messages)… but this week we are BLOWN AWAY by the majesty of the angels in the story!
What’s got us flying is not just the story itself but the fact that we are being invited to be in the story. That’s right, God never intended for us to read the spectacular work He accomplished, as an outsider. He wants us and you in the story. The words and acts of God have been recorded to bring the miraculous into our lives not just our ears.These stories are not for our information they are for our formation… our transformation.
So this week we’ll be teaching about angels visiting people. Real people like Mary, you, and us. We’ll be uncorking stories from scripture and stories of people you may know! When we understand that God wants us in the story, we’ll start to experience the life we were meant to live. So, if you’re reading this and something is stirring in you… IT’S NOT TOO LATE! Let the miracle of Christmas visit you this year.Join us LIVE… invite your family and friends (click here to send an evite). You don’t want to miss this! If you absolutely can’t be with us, watch the messages online and let the Christmas Story come alive in you! Maybe we’ll even have the courage to say “May it happen to me just as you said it would.”
Thanking God we are in the Story,
