Sermon Series and Advent Devotionals: The Questions of Christmas
This Advent season, we gather to reflect on the questions of Christmas that echo across centuries, inviting us to enter the mystery of God coming close, dwelling among us. These aren’t just questions asked in the nativity story but those that touch our lives today, meeting us in our waiting, hopes, and uncertainties. In the Christmas story, we hear questions that stir the heart: “How can this be?” asked Mary. “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews?” asked the wise men. “What child is this?” asked many who first glimpsed the Christ child. Through these questions and many more, we explore our own search for understanding, for faith, and for hope. Each week, we’ll look deeply into a question, inviting it to shape our hearts and minds as we anticipate Christ’s coming. Together, we’ll discover how these questions open us to a new encounter with God’s love, reminding us that our questions are a part of faith—not signs of doubt, but invitations to draw nearer to the truth of Emmanuel, God with us.
This Advent, may we open our hearts to the mystery, humility, and beauty of a God who hears our questions and meets us with answers that go beyond our understanding. Come, let us journey together in faith as we celebrate the gift of Christmas, asking the questions that bring us ever closer to the heart of God.
