The story of a baby

If you want to see people on the edge of insanity, just watch the way families treat their babies at Christmastime. The poor child has no warning. Red furry stocking cap, goofy elfish shoes that curl at the toes. And the pictures we take! Baby snoozing under the tree. Baby on Santa’s lap. Santa with wet spot on lap.

Is not Christmas the story of a baby? The moment that shaped all others? Mary’s eyes falling on the face of her just-born son. The first to whisper, “So this is what God looks like!” Never in mankind’s wildest imaginings did we consider that God would enter the world as an infant. John 1:14 (NKJV) says, “The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.” Would you like to see God? Well then take a look at the baby Jesus.

We hope you will make it part of your worship day to be with us this coming Sunday as we observe the Third Sunday in Advent. We sing, we pray, we fellowship, we give and we study God's Word. This week we will be taking a look at Matthew 11:2-11 and the story of John sending his disciples to ask Jesus, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?" Jesus takes the moment to praise John and offer him a special moment of grace.

Your presence would be our joy and we hope you will join us. Our address is 126 Alabama Street in Odenville. If you are unable to be with us in person, you can join us via livestream by clicking on the link below:
