Gathering 59: Calm and Bright - A Christmas Message

Published: Dec. 29, 2018, 8 p.m.

Nothing changes people quite like the birth of a child. Whether you’re a first-time parent or grandparent, aunt or uncle, brother or sister, a new baby changes everything. The writer of the gospel of Luke captured this phenomenon in the account of Jesus’ birth (Luke 2:1-20), and then took it a step further by setting us up to see how this birth would mean the salvation of the world. But what exactly does salvation mean for us today? And how do we impart this knowledge in a tangible way to others? Listen as Pastor Tony Minear, Ph.D. explores this Christmas message of salvation and how we as followers of Jesus can take what he was about and live it out now in our own unique ways. Expand your definition of salvation and see how you can tap into this gift to create an atmosphere of calmness and bright light to others. A place where people can flourish because they feel safe and secure.   The video referenced during the sermon can be found here: https://youtu.be/q3fiJFCCqMg Merry Christmas to you and yours, and thank you for listening.
