"Expect a Miracle" - Christmas is Not Your Birthday, Part 1

On the first Sunday of Advent we began a new series that seeks to refocus Christmas on the message of Jesus. Drawing on Isaiah 9:2, 6-7, we looked at how miracles are not just something God did in the past, but something God desires to do today through us! We also announced our Christmas Miracle Offering, challenging the congregation to give to Zoe Empowers the same amount they spent on Christmas gifts this year. More on Zoe's amazing ministry here.  When we expected a conquering warrior, God came to us as a poor child.
