Series: God Draws Near
The Greatest of these is Love
December 24, 2023 | Mike Matousek
Often we focus on the details of the Christmas story that we love, and just as often we get those details wrong! But there is much more to this story than inns and innkeepers, animals and stables, stars and wise men. The greatest aspect of the story is God's love for us as demonstrated through the birth of Jesus.

Series Information
Advent comes as an invitation to slow down, reenter the story of Jesus's birth, and become more aware of God's presence with us. The word advent means "the coming or arrival of something long awaited." Our Advent celebrations look back to when Jesus came to earth as the long awaited Messiah and look forward in anticipation of when Jesus will come again and make all things new. As those who faithfully wait on God to return, we can step out of a culture of busyness to experience how God draws near by the Holy Spirit. This Advent we will focus on the traditional themes of peace, hope, joy, and love using videos from the Bible Project along with the Scripture passages that foretold Christ's coming and recount his birth. Join us this season as we seek to draw near to the One who took on flesh to draw near to us.
