There is nothing quite like a holiday road trip. Although the Wise Men didn’t make it to the manger, their road trip to see the Newborn King is an essential piece in understand the real Christmas story. So this week, we take the ultimate Christmas road trip and follow the star home…get ready, we continue our unique look at Christmas with the invitation to come Home for Christmas.
We often sing about the first Christmas night and imagine it to be a silent night. It was not! The first Christmas was chaotic and messy – a lot like some of our own Christmas celebrations in our own homes. In the midst of the mayhem and clutter, the peace of God radiates through our celebration and reminds us that God’s presence brings hope to our messy and unexpected moments. Get ready for a silent night with some holy messes!
The Christmas season reminds us of the longing for home—a place where we belong, are loved, and find peace.
But sometimes, just like Mary and Joseph in Luke 2:1-7, the journey to “home” isn’t easy.
Yet, even in unexpected places and imperfect circumstances, God creates a space for us to belong.
Christmas is here and it is time to go “Home for Christmas.”
Today we will see the importance of home and how to help create that safe space for others.
We wrap up the Christmas season and head into a New Year with a study titled – “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Three.” Now, we know when you probably saw the title, you thought, Christmas Three? – isn’t it supposed to be ” Christmas Tree?” Nope, you read it correctly. It’s “three” on purpose. It is a tongue-in-cheek way of focusing on something. The Christmas Three gives us a great way to take one last look at Christmas this year.
Christmas Eve under the stars.
