MESSAGES

Are you ready for Christmas? You're going to ask and be asked that question a lot over the next few weeks. There is always a lot of preparation to get ready for Christmas.

It is interesting that in the Bible's narrative of the first Christmas, God had to prepare people for what He was getting ready to do. They weren't ready, so He gave them the opportunity to get ready for the coming of the Savior.  Our goal is to "get ready" in four similar ways that God prepared those in the original story: ready for the miraculous, ready for family, ready for good times, and ready to receive the gift.
