Lights are a major part of modern-day Christmas decorating traditions. It’s what completes the tree, or lights up small-town streets. The lights of Christmas and Matt Redman’s Christmas song “These Christmas Lights” are our inspiration to explore Scripture all about the Light of the World.

We can see what a heart filled with expectation looks like when we observe children’s faces on Christmas morning. May our hearts burst with childlike levels of anticipation for the return of Christ. “Come Thou Long Expected Jesus,” as sung by Meredith Andrews, reminds us that while the Advent season may have come to a close for 2017, we still eagerly await Christ’s return.

We can learn quite a bit from two characters included in the story of Christ’s birth and dedication to the Lord in Luke 2. Will you join me there?

Christmastime is here! I love this season! I love the music, I love the traditions, I love the decorations, I love the food, and I love taking extra time examining the reason we celebrate this Holy Day. This week I am excited to use Matthew West’s new song, “Join the Angels,” to inspire us to pore over the Christmas story.
The angels had a pretty important role in the story of Christ coming to earth as a human. Let’s delve into exactly what they had to say together!

Reviewing the Christmas story can warm our hearts with the familiar, but examining the characters in new ways can bring a richness to the story you may never have considered. Sidewalk Prophet’s song, “What a Glorious Night,” puts the shepherds (and their experience in the Christmas story) front and center. It gives us a unique opportunity to consider this repeated story in a fresh and exciting way.
I pray my response to God’s message will always be the same as the shepherds that glorious night.

How many times have we missed the miracle because there was “no room” for the inconvenient? The birth of Jesus was messy, and loud, and inconvenient, and yet some embraced it and some like the innkeeper sung about in Brandon Heath’s song, “Just a Girl,” missed out on welcoming the Savior of the World.
I wonder how many miracles we’ve missed because we said, “no,” out of inconvenience?

I love how this week’s song leads us to the Christmas story AND deep into God’s Word searching out details about the Light of the World, Jesus Christ. Lauren Daigle’s “Light of the World”, includes lyrics we can relate to and that point us back to God’s Word.
If you feel like you are walking in darkness, please know that the sunrise has visited us from on high to give you light and guide your feet into the way of peace.
