Last week we met and had a great discussion about the Navity. It was interesting that so many of our ideas about what happened on that glorious day, were shaped by things outside the Bible, like songs, stories, movies, TV specials, etc. So we read through the accounts of Jesus's birth in Matthew and Luke to see what Scripture says (and what it doesn't say). All in all, it was another great study.
We'll need to take a short break from small group and hit it back up in January. Between Christmas concerts and everyone's holiday travel schedule, December is a bit packed. Just remember though, to take some time to slow down and reflect on what this season is truely about - not Santa Claus, not fanciful displays of lights, not sugarplums, nutcrackers, elves, or snow. It's about the birth of the One who came to save us all from sin. I encourage everyone to continue your personal Bible studies during this time.
I'll connect with everyone shortly to set up the schedule and topics for January.
Merry Christmas to all!!!!
