The Road to Christmas: Unlikely Worshipers12/22/2020  The world is full of a diverse array of people. We come from different ethnic and cultural backgrounds, have different styles and accents, use different lingo, and possess unique behavioral quirks. I am reminded by the diversity among humanity every time I stand in line at the grocery store or sit in an airport terminal. While we form groups based on preferences and similarities and judge each other based on our differences, fundamentally we are all the same. We are driven by the same desires and share the same needs, which is why we bump into different people at the grocery store in an airport security line. And most importantly, we were all created in the image of God.

In many ways, this bustle of travel activity harkens back to the very first Christmas, a Christmas marked by lots of traveling.
The Road to Christmas: Unlikely Decrees12/12/2020  We love the manger scene and rosy pictures of Mary riding a donkey on the way to Bethlehem. It seems so idyllic and serene. But have you ever considered how stressful and chaotic that trip might have been for Joseph and Mary? They, along with the rest of the world, were on the move because of some unexpected government orders. Traveling to Bethlehem was not part of their five year plan, and especially not while Mary was expecting the Christ Child. However, God had different plans and used an unlikely government order to accomplish it.
