On the first Sunday of the Christmas season, our them for worship is "A Substitute for Christmas".  Pastor Leyrer's bible study "Behold Your Bethlehem Brother!" dives into Hebrews 2:10-18 focusing on two points:  I. His Cradle Led to the Cross  II. His Cross Helps Us Overcome Our Crosses.  Christ’s incarnation aimed at founding a new priesthood; as a priest of this priesthood, Jesus could forever make intercession between God and humanity and secure a perfect propitiation for sin.
