The Season of Grace
Grace in the Family of God
Luke 1:39-45
This Christmas season, we will walk through the Christmas story from the perspective of Mary the mother of Jesus. Through the meeting of Mary and Elizabeth, we will see the crucial role of family to bring joy and hope to those in need. We will also discover how God’s family is united not through blood, financial standing, or geography, but through faith in Jesus Christ.
Family welcome with joy when we are overwhelmed.
Family looks outward in love instead of inward in selfishness.
Family proclaims the blessing of faith in God’s Word.
