Christmas Choir Cantata
Please join us Sunday, December 10th at 10:15am for our Christmas Cantata, “Night of the Father’s Love: The Awe and Mystery of God with Us.”
The night of the Father’s love….
the night the ancient prophecies were fulfilled;
the night of the angelic announcement of the birth as the star shone brightly above, leading others to witness this incredible gift of love from God in Human form – the Christ Child.
Expecting Christmas
There’s something special about the season of Advent. It’s a season of preparation, a season of waiting. It’s the time of the year where we begin to prepare ourselves to celebrate the coming of the Lord. It’s a season that is pregnant with promise. Promise for hope. Promise for peace. For love and for joy. For God to make things new once more. And so we wait.
The Bible encourages us to “wait upon the Lord.” This is a special kind of waiting. It means “waiting with hope,” not “wait and see what happens.” It is not just the passing of time. It is anticipation. We have God’s promises to anticipate. He cares for us. His plans are good, not evil, toward us. We can trust Him. He keeps His promises.
Christmas declares “God always keeps his promises.” In His way, in His time. He asks us to wait…with hope. He promises to return. He promises to come into our heart. He promises us pleasant surprises.
“You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. He will be very great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his ancestor David. And he will reign over Israel forever; his Kingdom will never end!” (Luke 1:31-33)

Connecting
The final command of Jesus to those who desire to follow him was to go. To the ends of the earth. To be his witnesses. Simple, right?
Sometimes the simplest things can be the hardest things to do.
As Christ’s witnesses, empowered by the Spirit, we are to follow the example of our Lord and go. He hasn’t asked for our good intentions. He has asked for our whole lives, surrendered to him and his purposes, and to go and be his people for his sake in the world.
Our work is a continuation of his work. To go and to share all possible truth with all possible people in all possible ways. Connecting the whole gospel to the whole world with our whole strength.
“And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere.” (Acts 1:8)
