Christmas Eve message 2013

Jesus birth would have been unusual for a normal child let alone the King of Israel. Join us as we consider Jesus birth from Mary's perspective in Luke 2:1-20 and how her expectations where probably not realized as she gave birth far from home in a stable.

Upon hearing from God that she was going to give birth to the Messiah, Mary turns to Elizabeth for encouragement. She seeks to have this news confirmed. She also sings the first Christmas carol, proclaiming the Good News of Jesus for all to hear. Join us as we take a look at the Gospel according to Mary.

Every Christmas we read her story. But do we truly grasp the surprising aspects of the Christmas story and especially Mary's response to the angel's message? Join us as we look at Mary's faith in Luke 1:26-38.
