We live in a pluralistic society. Obviously. Why then do we as a culture set aside weeks, if not months preparing for a distinctively Christian holiday, celebrating the birth of the Jewish Messiah? Do we even need Christmas? Come with the Grace United crew as we talk about and seek an answer to the question: "Who needs Christmas?"

Unwrapping the Christmas Story.

Gabriel told Zechariah, "Your barren wife will have a son and you shall call his name John"-"God is gracious." Indeed, God was gracious to this couple who were way past childbearing age. What would John be like? Did he have a special mission from God? After all the Lord was about to perform a miracle, much like he did with Sarah and Abraham thousands of years earlier. What was so special about this kid? Come with the Grace United crew as we explore the marvelous story of Zechariah, Elizbeth, and John, so named because God is gracious.

God is the only faithful Person in the universe. He is The promise maker. He is The promise keeper. If he makes a promise, we can take it to the bank. And the greatest promise he has ever made to us, sinful humans is eternal salvation.

He isn't looking for pretenders; He wants genuine followers. Shared by Jason Stuart Percy on Sunday, July 11, 2021 at Refuge TLH in Tallahassee, FL.

It is essential that we worship the living and true God. Let us not err and worship less than the Triune God. There is a ransom paid by the death of our Savior, but it is only through the Spirit that we ever come to know and receive that redemption. And with that knowledge comes life that Jesus describes as “rivers of living water” flowing out of the heart of the one who believes.
