About the Series
December 2023
Christmas is the celebration of God bringing hope to the world through Jesus. Into a world that was expecting a conquering hero, a dominating leader, and a sword-bearing king—God sent Christ in an unassuming way to model the fullness of His design to rescue humanity. Into that little town of Bethlehem stepped the creator of the universe, and through the manger that led to the cross, came the Advent of Hope for all.

As followers of Jesus, we can look back on our lives and point to specific moments in which the Lord worked in our lives or in our church in unique—and even sometimes, miraculous—ways. Those moments are significant. They stand out in our memories, and they give us fuel to keep moving forward when things get difficult. The evidence of God’s work in our lives leads us to celebrate those moments and to even long for the next one, praying that God will continue to do unique things in our lives and in the life of our church. Many times, as we look at those high points, we miss the everyday, ongoing process of faithfully following Jesus. The practice of allowing Jesus to transform us through His Word, gathering with other Christians, and investing faithfully in His work can get lost as we search for the next big moment. But it’s that consistent, faithful approach—continually valuing the things Jesus sees as important—and the implementation of making those habits a part of our lives that brings the space and opportunity for God to do unique and special things through us. It’s the thread between the moments.
