Christmas Eve • Gladstone
December 24, 2019 • Kayla Meredith
Mary was pregnant with God’s son and about to give birth when Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem to be counted in the census. The city was crowded and every place a visitor could stay was full. Mary and Joseph went door-to-door looking for a place to stay but with no luck, until an owner of an Inn allowed them to stay in their stable. Scripture tells us that Jesus stands at the door of our hearts and knocks seeking to enter. How will you make room for Jesus this Christmas?

The Foreigner • Gladstone
December 22, 2019 • Mark Sheets
A foreigner is someone who was born in a different country than one's own. How do we view the foreigner in our culture? Are they welcome? Are they invited to our table? Or are they considered "out" and not included? If Jesus were to show up today, he would be considered a foreigner. Would we welcome him into our culture?
The Enemy• Platte County
December 22, 2019 • Fabian Gonzalez
Enemies…we all have them don’t we? We don’t have to look too far around us to see our enemies. When someone wrongs us we are immediately upset…and rightly so. What he or she has done has hurt us. If left unresolved, this person may turn into an enemy. Some of us even have enemies within our own homes. Jesus tells us to love our enemies and to pray for those who hurt us. How do we invite in the enemy?

The Stranger • North Oak
December 1, 2019 • Mark Sheets
Jesus says to those who invite in the stranger that they have invited in the living God. But we live in a world where “stranger danger” is the motto. What does it look like to invite in those who are not like you, who have a different background than you, who live differently than you, who have different beliefs than you, who are well…different than you? What might God teach you when you welcome in the stranger?
