Philippians 2:5-11 “Like Us”

 Message: Philippians 2:5-11 “Like Us”

God loves humanity so much that He becomes like us. This is the amazing gift God offers to the world, revealed through Christ and the Christian faith. When we celebrate Christmas, we are celebrating how God demonstrated His amazing love and became human in order to save humanity from itself. The other side of this truth is captured well by St. Athanasius in the 4^th century AD when he declared that “God became like us so that we might become like Him.” Christmas is the celebration of Christ coming into the world as one of us. The name “Christian” means ‘little Christs.’ Our goal as followers of Jesus is to become more like Jesus, not in power, but in character.

 

Luke 2:41-52 “Living & Learning”

Message: Luke 2:41-52 “Living & Learning”

This life had something to teach the Son of God. Jesus spent his first 30 years mainly in a small town, growing and learning about life. Life is about living and learning. We get to take part in deciding how the lessons will shape us.
