Christmas Journey (Week 1)

Understanding the privilege and responsibility of sharing our spiritual journey with others. Helping us focus on becoming disciple-making disciples.

A good question to ask yourself as you do this group is: 

How is Jesus involved in Christmas?
What does this mean for me?

Bible Passage

Isaiah 9:2,6-7
​​
"The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called:

Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end.
He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom,
establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever.
The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.
