Jesus Makes Home With Us
There are so many amazing things happening around High Street this December, I want to encourage you, and to make sure each of you knew, that you’re invited into this season with us.
Last Sunday, we began our Christmas sermon series, Home for the Holidays , welcoming Jesus to “make home” with us in our families, our houses, and our hearts, just as He did as a baby in that manger (see John 14:23).
With the busyness of the season, it can be tough to find reservoirs of peace and rest, and yet Jesus’ invitation, His passion, is to make home with us, in our busyness, in our stresses, in our worries, in our discontent…
He intends to make us His home.
What an honor.
And this sermon series is set up to tend to that very tender, hungry, and needy part of us—that, for Christmas, really wants and needs His presence.
How do we get there? We’ll study Mary’s story this next Sunday, and consider what it means for our hearts to lean-into “Treasuring the Treasure” of Jesus with us.
And if something below stands out to you, please jump in this December season to community, connection, and faith!
