Text: Matthew 4:1-11. Jesus is led to the wilderness by the Holy Spirit and tempted by Satan.

The scripture reading: Isaiah 60:1-6; Matthew 2:1-12, Reader: Monica Boudreau

Although we tend to visualize the nativity scene as peaceful and calm, was it really silent, clean, and peaceful? 

Pastor Bob invites you to reimagine the night when Jesus was born and reflect on the grace of God who meets us

in circumstances not peaceful, not clean, and vulnerable.

As many of us live in our society driven by fear and violence, God speaks to Prophet Isaiah with a beautiful image of transforming swords to plowshares. As Christ is coming to us as the Prince of Peace, how can we participate in the transforming vision of God for this world?
