From Nazareth to Bethlehem

This week Mary and Joseph journey to their final destination, Bethlehem. By now, we realize it has always been about the journey. That is how God works with us…how faith works in us…how we grow. Is it really their final destination, or does the journey continue? I think you know the answer. Scripture: Luke 2:1-7

Mary's Visit to Elizabeth

Who do you turn to when the unexpected happens and you have no idea what to do next? For Mary in the Advent narrative, that person was her cousin, Elizabeth. Mary and Elizabeth’s relationship reminds us of the importance of supportive community during times of trial. Join us on Sunday as we dive deeper into the story of friendship between these two strong and brave women. Whether your holiday season is filled with celebrations, stress, joy, grief, or a mix of it all, we hope you find yourself surrounded by the Elizabeth’s in your life.

Joseph of Bethlehem

When we think of the Christmas story what comes to mind first? The mother Mary? The Angels? Shepherds and Wisemen? Baby Jesus? What often does not come to our minds first is Joseph. Scripture does not say very much about this mysterious man, but he does play a very important role in the Christmas story. Today we’re going to look closer at this humble carpenter from Bethlehem, and how we can learn from him about the importance of Emmanuel, especially as we experience challenging times throughout our life.

Mary of Nazareth

We know Mary was the mother of Jesus. But before anyone knew about Mary as the mother of the Christ, she was just a young girl from small town in a largely insignificant nation on the world stage at that time. Out of all the people…out of all the locations…out of all the times…why Mary?
