- Dec 4, 2016Christmas Stories – Week 1 (God’s Great Power)
Christmas Stories – Week 1 (God’s Great Power)Stories define so much of who we are and what we do – we tell them to our children, to teach them how to grow up to be the women & men they should be. We tell them to our friends & family to share bits and pieces of who we are and what makes us tick. We spend our money on entertainment that (by-and-large) are comprised of stories.
What if there was one story that rose above all others? One story that was grander, richer, bigger, and more powerful than every story ever told. This Christmas, we discover not only that there IS such a story, but that we are invited to be a part of it.Today we look at the story of God's Great Power, how His power is both magnificent & grand AND profoundly personal. His power doesn't remove Him from us but draws us close. And it all begins in such lowly places that we can all relate. - Nov 27, 2016What Will I Choose?
