Traffic isn't moving, but there's no wreck. Your project has stalled because, but everything is ready. You've filled out the forms, but the circle on the screen just keeps turning. Waiting without knowing why is incredibly frustrating. This week, Pastor Ben Hightower finishes our series "Waiting on Christmas" by looking at what Mary and Joseph did after Christmas and what God was doing while their lives were on hold.

Asking Mary to carry and deliver Jesus and asking Joseph to raise Him as his own son were big asks, but those were necessary. We need a Messiah. We needed Him to live as one of us. Someone had to do it and it had to be done in a way that fulfilled prophecy. But, did He really have to ask them to travel during the last week of her pregnancy? Why would God add another difficult thing on top of an already difficult situation? This week, Pastor Ben Hightower takes us through Luke 2 to show us what God was doing. How do you feel about interruptions? I guess it depends on the interruption. What about when God interrupts? When He throws a wrench in your plans? How do you respond to God when He says that your life is going to go differently than you planned? This week, we continue our Waiting on Christmas series with a look at two people who had their lives and plans interrupted by God. God's response to need is generosity. What's yours? This week, Pastor Ben Hightower takes us through a section of Deuteronomy 15 to see what we can learn about God, ourselves, and generosity. |
