Change is not easy. We need a lot of people to be willing to say, “I’ll change,” and I hope you understand why. It is so more can become a part of our family, more can faithfully follow Christ. The change is about positioning ourselves to bring about our vision and mission.

Throughout December I have been preaching on a connection between creation and Christmas, showing how Jesus coming to us in what we call Christmas fulfills or addresses issues going all the way back to the beginning of things. Today we see Jesus as the fulfillment to the first announcement, to the promise that we can be restored to God and all that has been lost.

Rest is a part of who God is. Rest is something He has for creation. The seventh day is holy. Holy here means set apart, distinct, not like the others. He blessed this day, and in so doing gives us a principal for living. There is a blessing in rest. There is a blessing in having a day that does not look like the other 6.

Our Christmas series will take us back, further back than our memory or traditions. It will take us back to Genesis. I want us to see Christmas at the beginning of time, and have a greater appreciation of the wonder, the consistency, the love and power of our God.

As we come to the Table, God has some concerns. Believers have tended to come here and miss the importance of unity, memory, and handling this in a way that is just worthy of what has been done for us. It is easy to come to this table and think it is all about me, all about me and God. No, it is not. It is much more about you and the church family together with God.
