Humble Hearts & Heavenly Joy: Embracing Gods Call This Christmas

In this message, Pastor Chris reflects on the significance of the Christmas story, highlighting how each of us can play a part in God's narrative. He explores the importance of embracing God’s call, sharing joy, acting on His word, and the power of worship and testimony. Drawing from Luke 2:8-20, we journey with the shepherds as they receive the angelic announcement of Jesus' birth. Their story shows how God’s joy meets us in humility, moves us to worship, and calls us to share His hope with others. Join us as we discover how God’s message of hope brings joy that lasts beyond the season. NOTE SHEETRockwell Church     Dec 15, 2024     Pastor Chris TeienHumble Hearts, Heavenly Joy Luke 2:8-201.
