Grinchier Than I Thought

Thrill of Hope

In the endless press of the Christmas season, we often get distracted from the reason we’re celebrating. We reduce Christmas to presents and toys and parties – or, as Dr. Seuss says, we think Christmas “comes from a store.” But Paul’s eruption of praise at the close of his letter to the Romans reminds us to stop and marvel at the truly good news of Christmas: God has come among us, to rescue us and make us new. How can we not celebrate when we remember that Christmas is about God’s presence in our lives, not the presents we can buy?

And the big question is: Who is the least likely kind of person to follow Jesus?

Someone of a different religion?

Someone who’s super-rich?

Someone powerful?

The truth is: there’s no place too wild for God, no person too wild for the Holy Spirit to captivate. Are we paying attention?

Join us Sunday as we learn to spot the Holy Spirit at work everywhere – especially in the least likely places.
