Advent and the Story Behind Christmas - Lakeside Christian Church

I have a story to tell you

December 31, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Joshua 4:1–9

As we close out 2023 and move into 2024, so much has happened and will happen. Are you paying attention to what God has done, is doing, and will do? We celebrate and memorialize all kinds of things in life – what about the work of God in and through us? Join us as we reflect, recount, and anticipate God’s hand in our lives.

Christmas Eve

December 24, 2023 • Vince Armfield

Join us for an intimate and family style time of worship featuring familiar carols, the reading of the Christmas story, candy canes, and a candle lit singing of Silent Night.

Hope

December 24, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Romans 15:1–13

What does hope really mean, wishful thinking? The Biblical basis for hope is far reaching and with Jesus’ birth holds great promise.

Peace

December 17, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Luke 2:8–14

What are we to do with the peace that God gives us? What does peace mean in the context of the Angelic announcement at Jesus’ birth?

Joy

December 10, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Luke 2:8–11

What grounds the heart in the midst of life’s ups and downs? How on earth can Christians find joy in life and be thankful in all circumstances?

Love

December 3, 2023 • Vince Armfield • Isaiah 9:2–7

What motivates God to send Jesus at Christmas, why Jesus and why a baby? Is love more than an emotion or is there something more going on?
