Come Home for Christmas
Come Home to Hope
December 11, 2022 • Dr. Mark Foster • Luke 1:26–31
Hope can seem to be in short supply some days, and that can especially be true at the holidays. Yet, hope is more than a feeling or a wish. Hope is an expectation, trust, and desire for a good outcome. And, as we learn from Mary’s story, hope is knowing God will show us what to do when we need to do it.
Come Home from Fear
December 4, 2022 • Dr. Mark Foster • Matthew 2:1–7
In our more honest moments, we recognize that Christmas can be a time of fear and anxiety. What will happen when I sit next to the empty chair where my loved one used to sit? Do we have enough money to buy all the presents for my family, friends? Can I keep it together the whole time we are visiting family? These are real. And, there is hope. In a scary world, home is a place where we can be safe.
