In keeping with the Abide theme for the year, our Christmas message will focus on the glory of God. It is His presence that draws us and keeps us. We will focus on how the glory of God is His presence made visible among us. The transcendent God making His presence felt. It is the wind of His Spirit blowing in our midst. The incarnation means His glory is not distant, it is here. Our response to His glory is holiness, worship, and the mission of bringing others out of the darkness into His presence of light.
