Jesus was born into a difficult time in the history of Israel. John put it like this, “In him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.” Simeon, an elderly man in Jerusalem at the temple called Jesus a “light” who would be revealed to the gentiles. Christmas truly brings a message of hope and light to a dark and weary world!  Scripture: Luke 1, 2.Questions?

Prophesies about Jesus birth proclaimed He would be a Savior. In today’s message we take a look at a familiar story in John 4 in which Jesus speaks to an unnamed woman who is empty from the hardships of life. To this seemingly insignificant (to those around her BUT not to the Savior) woman, Jesus makes His boldest claim about Who He is. Our texts are Matthew 1:20-21, and John 4. Questions?
