This Weekend's Message: The Wrapping Matters

How much does the wrapping matter to you when you get a gift? Everyone says it's the thought that counts, but sometimes the wrapping sort of influences what we feel the value of the gift is going to be.

The wrapping was one of the obstacles that people struggled with when it came to the Messiah. He was supposed to be adorned with royalty and greatness, and instead came humbly in a manger. The wrapping was not what people expected. But the wonderful message of Christmas is that there was a design in the wrapping. There was intentionality in the way Jesus came.

Come this weekend to discover what lies beneath the wrapping of Jesus' birth.

See ya Sunday!
