Christmas Through the Eyes of Mary

Kyle Kauffman

Mary received the surprise of a lifetime when God sent the angel to announce that she would give birth to the Messiah. We see through her eyes how God is at work in and through the coming of Jesus at Christmas to bring His peace to people. At the core of every heart is a longing for peace with the God who made us and loves us. Yet because of our sin, that peace has been broken. The good news is that God, in His grace, offers us a peace that is far greater than we could ever imagine. It comes in ways we don’t expect—not something we can earn or achieve, but a gift He gives freely. His peace meets us in our struggles, steadies us in our fears, and one day will fill the whole earth. It’s a peace that does what we could never do for ourselves—restoring us to God and making us whole through the birth of a miraculous child. But it’s a peace only found by the humble—by those who trust His Word, submit to His will, and receive what He so graciously offers.

Luke 1:26-38

Christmas Through the Eyes of Isaiah

Brandon Fisher

In a time when everything felt dark and uncertain—when war loomed, morality was crumbling, and hope seemed lost—God offered a promise that still speaks to us today. The people of Judah, led by King Ahaz, were placing their trust in the wrong things, hoping that Assyria could save them. But through Isaiah, God pointed them to the true source of hope: a coming Messiah. Jesus would be the light to break through the darkness, the joy that lifts sorrow, and the Savior who breaks the chains of bondage. He would come not just to rescue, but to reign—restoring us to God, making all things right, and establishing a kingdom of peace that will never end. In our own times of darkness or uncertainty, this same Jesus is our unshakable hope as we trust in him and wait for his return.

Isaiah 9:1-7

Entrusted with This Moment

Kyle Kauffman

When evil and tragedy happen in this life it can leave us reeling. We may feel confused, angry, fearful, saddened, or even hopeless. We may have all sorts of questions that aren’t always easily answered. And we are often left with the question of “How should we respond?” As followers of Jesus, we are to answer that question by going back to the scriptures and remembering the truth of the gospel and how it should shape us. As a church we have an opportunity to respond in a way that shows our true citizenship is in heaven and we are placed in this moment to reflect and point to our One True King – Jesus.

1 Peter 3:8-22

Hope for the Hopeless

Kyle Kauffman

There are areas in our lives or the lives of others that may look or feel hopeless to us on the surface. We may struggle to believe that change is really possible or that things will ever get better. In Acts 12 we read of a time when things may have looked and felt hopeless to the early Christians in Jerusalem. We find God intervening in a powerful and amazing way to bring change. This story can help us in whatever areas we may struggle with hopelessness today by helping us to see that God hears and answers the prayers of his people. And it can help us to see that even when things may feel hopeless to us, God is still good and he can still be trusted.

Acts 12

Fullness of Life

Kyle Kauffman

We all have the desire for a life that is full, satisfying, and complete. But so often we look for life in the wrong places thinking that what we long for can be found somewhere other than God. Jesus came so that we might find life in God. Not simply so that we could treat God as an add-on to our already full lives. The more we come to truly know God the more we find our hearts and lives satisfied in him. Jesus came so that we might truly know God. In Jesus we find a God who is full of glory, full of grace, and full of love. It’s as we live to know this this God that we find the fulness of life we are longing for.

John 1:14-18

Newness of Life

Kyle Kauffman

Jesus came to this earth, not simply because we need a good example to follow or a good teacher to give us spiritual pep talks. He came to this earth because apart from him we don’t really have life. He did not come to this earth simply so that we can have a day off in December, fun traditions, and a reason to give each other presents. If that’s all Christmas is, it’s just a distraction from reality that makes us forget our terminal condition. Jesus came to this earth to give life to those who are dead. John 1:10-13 exposes our desperate situation, holds out the hope of new life in Christ, and shows us how this new life is received and enjoyed.

The Author of Life

Kyle Kauffman

John 1:1-3 introduces us to the “Who” behind Christmas. In one of the most precise, powerful statements in the Bible, John tells us the one who came as a baby at Christmas is the God who created life (and all things) and gives meaning to life and our existence. John reveals that behind and at very center of Christmas stands the God who wants to be Known. This is why He created, this is why He took on human flesh, this is why He still speaks to us today. We find that Christmas supplies answers to some of our most important questions in this life like, “Why am I here? How can I find meaning for my life? Does God exist? If He does, how can I know Him and relate to Him? And so we find that Christmas challenges us to orient our lives completely around knowing this God.

John 1:1-3; 17:3

The Light of Life

Kyle Kauffman

Light and life are intricately connected. Light is necessary for life to exist. Light enables us to see things as we should. Light exposes what would otherwise remain hidden. Light gives us hope in the face of darkness. When John declares that Jesus is the light, He is saying the exact same thing about Him. There may be all sorts of other places we look for ‘light’ in this life. But light that truly brings life, joy, and hope is only found in Jesus. We see our lives differently when we see that Jesus is the light. We walk through life differently when we see Jesus is the light. And we find hope in all the darkness of our lives when we see Jesus is the light. Jesus came at Christmas so that our lives might be connected to and illuminated by Him as our light.

John 1:4-9

Hope

Kyle Kauffman

Hope is an incredibly powerful thing in our lives. It has the ability to shape our outlook day-by-day. It can shape how we go through our lives. It can strengthen us to walk through the most difficult times. It can sustain us when we are tempted to give up. In short, hope has the ability to make a massive difference in your life. Yet how often do we pray for hope both for ourselves and for others? If hope is such a powerful thing in our lives, we should pray that God will fill us with hope. We should pray for a hope that is centered on God. We should pray for hope that is clear, powerful, and unwavering for both ourselves and other people.

The Exalted King

Kyle Kauffman

Where is this story headed? It’s a question we all wonder whether it’s in reading a book or watching a movie, or in thinking about our own lives, or in thinking about the whole world and all of history. Zechariah 14 gives a picture of where the story is headed. It’s headed to the place where our King reigns over his people in a perfect paradise. That’s how the story ends/begins. That doesn’t mean our king isn’t currently reigning, it’s just that we are still waiting for the full results and revealing of his reign as King. In the meantime we are called to live as those who submit our lives to his reign. We do this as we trust and worship him through whatever comes our way, and we do this as we seek to obey him in every area of our lives.
