Reflections with Andy - Luke 2: 1-21 - Christmas in July

Andy Stoddard

We look at a passage today that I know you’ve heard preached a thousand times. We’ll look at the Christmas story as told to us by Luke. This is the one that we are probably all most familiar with.  There is so much that we can unpack today, from what the shepherds were doing to the reason for the census. In Christmas, God came near. Through Christmas, God became flesh and dwelt among us. He incarnated the world. Today, as the church, that’s our job as well. To bring God near. To incarnate our work, our school, wherever we are. Through the Spirit, we bring God near today!
