Christmas Eve stories...

This Christmas Eve I will share 2 stories that have had a huge impact on my life! The first story is my engagement to Erica. The 2nd (and most important) story is the birth of Jesus from the Luke 2 account.

As I'm getting ready to preach on Wednesday, I noticed something interesting. The climax of Jesus birth (Luke 2) account is not where it feels like it should be. The climax of the story happened very discreetly. All the hype surrounds the angels and shepherds, but this is clearly not the pinnacle of the Christmas story. Jesus is!

When I noticed this, it just seemed to fit to tell the story of my engagement to Erica. In any engagement, the apex is the answer to the question! Hopefully you'll come and hear how it relates. Merry Christmas!
