To The Rescue
Across the great expanse of human history, we find a common thread in the presence of story. Every civilization, every culture, every society has stories and tells stories. From epic and fanciful works of fiction to robust recountings of actual events in days gone by, people are both drawn to hear and to tell their stories. And virtually every story that’s been told (or is worth being told) includes some kind of rescue.
The story of Christmas is no different. Surely, the story is about the coming of Jesus in the manger and all the trappings we hear about that amazing day. But the reason Jesus came and the result of that coming is all about the rescue that all of us so desperately need. And like all great tales, the rescue Jesus brings comes in ways and means that nobody really expected and in greater glory that we could have imagined.

Message Series Description:
Christmas should be a fun and exciting time - a time to celebrate with family and friends. But that is not all. For many people, Christmas is a time to remember the birth and life of a man called Jesus. Regardless of your practice, one thing that can be an unfortunate result of our traditions is that we begin to become TOO familiar, TOO casual about this time of the year. What should be a season laced with grand anticipation is muted with a shroud of routine. If we hearken back to the events that precipitated this venerated holiday, we can recapture the awe and eager excitement that it deserves.
