Luke 1:26 - Matthew 1:18 - Luke 2 - "It Is Reported"

Christmas Eve Service - We invite you to join us as we celebrate the reason of our hope, of our joy, and our salvation.  We celebrate Jesus, the Reason for the Season. While the world removes the Christ of Christmas - we celebrate the fact that God so loved the world, that He gave us His only begotten Son.  His life is the life He imparts to us and is the greatest gift of all.In Luke 2:11, the angel says, "There has been born for YOU a Savior."  That is the heart of Christmas.  It is the heart of the Gospel.  It is the heart of the entire Bible.  It is the heart of everything!  It's the pinnacle of redemption.  There has been born for YOU a Savior.  That's the Christian message.  That's the Christ of Christmas!!  Yet many will miss it.Year after year the message is proclaimed, and still millions miss it.  Whether out of ignorant preoccupation, ritual, idolatry, and over-familiarity, the bottom line is unbelief. Many people simply refuse to believe in Jesus Christ. The apostle John said, "He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name" (John 1:10-12). If you've been missing the reality of Christmas in your life, know that if you receive the Lord Jesus Christ and believe in His name, Christmas will become real to you. It can happen today; and it's between you and God (2 Corinthians 6:1-2; Romans 10:8-11).While the whole world focuses Santa Claus, materialism or even the babe in the manger, Christmas is not about the Savior's infancy; it is about His deity. The reality of humble birth of Jesus Christ is that God was being born into the world to save us.
