A Messy Christmas- The Wise Men’s Story

Matthew 2:1-23

I love a picture-perfect Christmas. However, my Christmas will have some “real life” attached to it.

The assumption that people have about the Christian faith is that God loves those who have their act together and that he turns his back on those that don’t.

God is looking for people who will be real about their brokenness and will trust that God can take life’s messy moments and create something marvelous from it.
