Christmas Eve Service 2023 "You Are Worthy To Be Made Whole Again"

ReNew Ames Messages

This is the story of the birth of Jesus. Why would God come to us in this way? Why would God do such a thing? It's a question I've asked and answered before - this time in a little different way. 1) I think God did such a thing to show us that God's not afraid of the mess. This story is so messy - from an unwed pregnant 14 year old Mary all the way to the animals and shepherds who smell like animal poop. God's not afraid of your mess, either. 2) I think God did such a thing because God considers all of creation worthy of being saved - and that includes your little life. Even though our lives are messy - God still considers us worthy. Not because of the things that we have done - God just decided we were worthy. Know this in the deepest parts of yourself - you are worthy to be saved, healed, worthy and being made whole again. 3) I think God did such a thing to show us how much he loves us. Christmas Eve always has to come down to love. If it doesn't, we've effed things up. lol. Speaker: Aaron Vis Scripture: Luke 2:1-20 http://bible.com/events/49188467
