Red Door Church (RDC)
It happened one night. The Light of the world broke through the darkness. “And the darkness could not comprehend it.” BECAUSE Immanuel, God with us, came to do what no one could do: change the world through love.
Everyone and anyone is invited to the story—a story that moves individuals into the realm of living a wonderful life that God offers to each one. —Kerrie

Key Message:
The messiness of humanity collided with the perfection of heaven the first Christmas and all the following days. It’s what makes our story wonderful.
So. Take a breath. Lean in. And, find the place of wonderful in your life.
#1 Christmas WORD: 1. Don’t be afraid. 2. You have found favor with God. 3. The impossible is possible with God.
#2 Christmas RESPONSE:
Key God-Word:
Matthew 1
So here, finally, is the story of the birth of Jesus the Anointed (it is quite a remarkable story). . .
Mary was engaged to marry Joseph, son of David.
They hadn’t married. And yet, some time well before their wedding date, Mary learned that she was pregnant by the Holy Spirit. 19 Joseph, because he was kind and upstanding and honorable, wanted to spare Mary shame. He did not wish to cause her more embarrassment than necessary.
. . . Now when Joseph had decided to act on his instincts, a messenger of the Lord came to him in a dream.
Messenger of the Lord: Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to wed Mary and bring her into your home and family as your wife. She did not sneak off and sleep with someone else—rather, she conceived the
baby she now carries through the miraculous
wonderworking of the Holy Spirit. She will have a son, and you will name Him Jesus, which means “the Lord saves,” because this Jesus is the person who will save all of His people from sin.
Joseph woke up from his dream and did exactly what the messenger had told him to do: he married Mary and brought her into his home as his wife (though he did not consummate their marriage until after her son was born). And when the baby was born, Joseph named Him Jesus, Savior. Years and years ago, Isaiah, a prophet of Israel, foretold the story of Mary, Joseph, and Jesus: A virgin will conceive and bear a Son, and His name will be Immanuel
(which is a Hebrew name that means “God with us”). (vs: 18-23, Voice)
