Are you as excited as we are about Christmas! Today we get to celebrate the birth of Jesus. As we learn from the Christmas stories in Matthew and Luke, we can miss out on the real meaning of Christmas. Whether it is distraction, selfishness, disappointment, there are many things that can keep up from being transformed by Jesus’ birth. This morning, in our special Christmas service, we learn about facing disappointment and responding to the confusion and fear in our life. The way we respond will define our faith.
