Christmas 2016

Christmas is full of miracles... at least in the scriptures. Luke records some of the most amazing things around the birth of Christ. I encourage you to read the Christmas story beginning with the first chapter in Luke. Often we read the Christmas story beginning in Luke chapter 2 and miss some amazing things.
The angel Gabriel announced to Zechariah that he and Elizabeth were going to have a baby named John, even though they were senior adults! This miracle was a forerunner to the message Mary and Joseph received. Amazingly, Zechariah and Elizabeth were related to Mary and Joseph. Zechariah received this announcement while he was serving his one and only time in the temple offering incense. God's timing is perfect. God used Elizabeth to comfort and encourage Mary, as well as confirm the miraculous message given.
Just as God prepared Zechariah and Elizabeth, as well as Mary and Joseph, for the coming of Jesus; God prepares your heart to receive the Christ child. Have you truly embraced the miracle God wants to do in you? Have you received His most precious gift through His Son?
This Christmas can truly be a miracle for you!

From the Heart,
Pastor BR
