We will continue the series "Dwelling in Freedom" as we draw from Pauls letter to the Galatians.

Galatians 5:1-15

1. Gods Vision for Peace Genesis 1
2. The Mess Weve Made Isaiah 1:2-4
3. God Restores Peace Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah 61:1-3

Today we will hear from all ages of our congregation helping us celebrate the coming of the Christ Child. It is no coincidence that as we move through the series of themes for season of Advent, today we are lighting the candle of Joy. Our prayer is that today you will experience his Joy through not just watching but joining in the celebration.

In the midst of overwhelming need and opportunity in our world, we can often feel totally inadequate to offer any response.
As Jesus stood before a crowd well in excess of 5000, He asked His disciples to feed them. When all they could see was the human impossibility of the task, Jesus simply asked, How many loaves do you have? (Mark 6:38)
This question comes to us today as Gods invitation to get involved in addressing the overwhelming need all around us without getting overwhelmed ourselves.

Today we will continue this semesters series Questions Jesus Asked which is part of this years theme, Dwelling in Christ. We are discovering that depending upon the person, Jesuss questions were thought to be provocative, restorative, challenging or comforting; however, they were always transformative.
As Jesus continues His quest to teach and display the Kingdom of God, Luke 8 reveals that the Jesus Way is filled with a movement that is breaking down ungodly barriers with a message that is welcoming and motivated by love.
