This week we look at Matthew 2:1-12, the story of sages from other lands who followed a star to find Jesus. Their search led them to ask the current king where to find this new king the star portended - and that sent the current king into a paranoid panic and efforts to control what was beyond his control. That's what panic always does to us. How might we respond to the "uncontrollable" in our lives with faith and better strategies?

This week we look at John 1:1-8, which sets out Christmas story into a cosmic context. The writer calls John the Baptist a "witness to the Light." That is a calling we all share with him - to bring light, to proclaim light, to live light. 

This week we look at John 1:1-18, which sets our Christmas story into a cosmic context. John talks about Jesus as the Light of the world who overcomes the darkness... that's a message we could use right about now!
