2022 Christmas Eve Service

December 24, 2022 • Pastor Steve Feden • Luke 2:1–7

The Cost of Christmas: "Jesus" - Luke 2:1-7

Even though our calendar tells us it is Christmas, life and problems don't take a break so we can pause and relax. Indeed, times and seasons like these has had challenges of all types for lots and lots of folks.

But, isn't that sort of at the root of Jesus' entry onto planet earth after all? Think about it....time and events don't pause so he can have a smooth entry. Quite the opposite. His "full term" teenage mother has to hop on a donkey and travel 90 miles away from home. As "luck" would have it, she goes into labor at the most inconvenient time, while she is away from home. I don't know about you, but I like to be home when I am sick or hurting, not in a hotel somewhere!

When the Son of God became like humanity, there was a cost. Planet earth has its Grand Canyons, beautiful sunsets, and majestic mountains, but there is also a lot of brokenness here. What did it cost Jesus to come? Why would He do it?

Despite the cold of the season, or maybe even because of it, we will gather to hear the story and the reminder of why Jesus took on humanity. With a relatively short message, and plenty of slides to accompany, I hope to challenge you to experience Christmas from a new perspective. I hope to put you a little more in touch with just what it cost for Christmas to happen, and why we celebrate.

So, embrace the beautiful music and warm fellowship in the middle of times that are cold in more ways than one! If you are needing some hope and a new perspective, then.......

John 1:10-13 - "A Christmas Communion"

December 22, 2024 • Pastor Steve Feden • John 1:10–13

"Have you been.....?" - John 1:10-13 With Christmas just days away, how would you finish my question? Have you been.....naughty or nice? Have you been....baking lots of cookies, wrapping lots of gifts, or sending lots of cards? Of course, all these may be true but they are not the completion of my question. Since we started the Gospel of John on Wednesday nights, and the Gospel of John was central to the brief Christmas concert message, I think we should keep going with the next section -- verses 10-13! In the context of Sunday's communion, we will look at a few simple verses that may rock your world. For some, this will be easy and familiar territory. But for others, my question will drop like a bomb. "Have you been.....??" The full question will be our topic. I hope you can... ...VIEW AND SEE! Steve

Jesus - "For Such a Time as This!"

December 24, 2023 • Pastor Steve Feden • John 3

"For Such a Time as This - Jesus" - John 3 What did we do before we had cellphones with a flashlight option!? That is the handiest little gadget since someone put an eraser on the top of a pencil! I use it often when I am finding the right key, getting in the car, or looking for something I dropped! But of course I only need it when the current light is insufficient to see with clarity! When our eyes receive the benefit of full light, a flashlight adds nothing to my efforts. But when I am in the dark... In keeping with our theme, there is no better time for light than when we are in the dark. That handy little flashlight function on the phone has proven, over and over again, to be "for such a time as this"...such times of darkness, confusion, uncertainty, lack of clarity. It was God who spoke into the darkness and said, "Let there be light". I think the light of Jesus is still needed for our world, don't you. But what exactly does that mean? John 3 will be our topic of discussion if you can find a way to... ...VIEW and SEE Steve
