Our Christmas Service is always a special time, and that was especially true this year. Pastor Lance shared out of Galatians 4:4-5, focusing how how grateful we should be that God never "cancelled" any part of His Christmas plan! His purpose for taking on flesh and dwelling among mankind propelled Him into action. Because He loved us so much, He stepped down into our world, as a helpless Baby, to live, die, and rise again. Mary and Joseph had signed on to what God wanted to do through them, they were available for this incredible plan. While we do indeed look forward to Christ's return, Pastor Lance reminds us that the Lord is not done with us yet. What does He want to pour out onto us today? How does He want to use us where we're at now? Just as Joseph and Mary were obedient and submitted to this mighty plan of redemption, so too must we obey in order to receive the blessings found in being at the center of His perfect will.
