There are two stories from which people will live this Christmas:
1) I AM MY OWN STORY: This story's main idea can be summed up in the following: I am a cosmic accident. My living has no purpose other than the purpose I give it or the purpose society gives it or both. Eat, drink, shop, and be merry for tomorrow we are food for worms.
2) I AM PART OF GOD'S STORY: This story's main idea can be summed up in the following: I am made in the image of God. My living has divinely ordained purpose. I have been made to love God and love others in the manner of Jesus.
For the next three weeks at Sanctuary we will explore The Genesis of Christmas:
Week 1: God has a Story
Week 2: I have a Story
Week 3: We have a Story
You are not an accident. Your life has purpose. When we find our place in God's story, we find out who we are and how to live.
