In this two week series, we will be exploring the discipleship practice of prayer. Prayer is often misunderstood, confusing, and can often feel odd. As we look at Matthew 18:1-5 and Matthew 6:9-13, my hope is that we will see the simplicity and necessity of prayer. I also hope that we will learn really practical ways that we can pray in our day to day lives.

These next two weeks, Jesus will be inviting us into His presence through the practice of prayer so that He can make us into who we were meant to be. If you have questions about prayer or have been a prayer warrior for years, join us on 12/19 and 12/26 so we can grow into being a people of prayer!

Advent is all about Jesus. It is a time when we remember his first arrival while looking expectantly to his imminent return. In the meantime, we live with the hope, love, joy, and peace that he brings to our lives. In our text today, Luke reports some of the facts about the Christmas story that reveal the nature of God and in turn demand a response from His creation. How will we respond to The Greatest Birth of All Time?

In Jesus Christ, we see “A Merciful Son.” The Merciful Son who left the glory of heaven to complete the mission the Father gave Him. God sent Jesus to bring peace. Peace with the Father and harmony (peace) with others. On this second Sunday of Advent, our theme is “peace.” Jesus is our peace!

God sent His Son as the greatest gift ever given to the world. In four verses in Paul's book to the Galatians, we encounter the Trinity (Father, Son, and Spirit), the gospel, and the Christmas story. There is no other place in Scripture where the essentials of our faith are so that succinctly presented.
