Christmas Eve

As we dig deep into what Christmas really means, we see that God had a great rescue plan for humanity. When we think of Jesus being born, we have to consider the reasons He actually came. When those reasons become a reality in our lives, it changes everything! Merry Christmas from Impact Church.

As the Christmas season rolls around, there is a lot of excitement in the air. Occasionally, though, there are those who just don’t get into the Christmas spirit. Everyone knows a Grinch or a Scrooge, right? Bah Humbug. While this is a well-known phrase, if we’re honest, we all have certain seasons in life where we just feel “bah Humbug!” As we look at the Christmas story, we will see that so many key players could have easily felt the disdain of Jesus, yet they decided to respond differently.
