Those Who Missed Christmas

Christmas—it’s the most wonderful time of the year. But, let’s be honest, as the season gets more commercialized and crowded with activities, it’s easy to miss what this holiday is all about and what it means for our lives today. Join us for this three-week series as we explore the characters who missed the very first Christmas and what their stories can teach us today.

The Leaders Who Missed Christmas
Jon Rychener
Many people missed the true meaning of the first Christmas, including the spiritual leaders of that day. In this message, we will examine what might be distracting us from Jesus and how we can make Him the highest priority of our lives.

December 14
The Innkeeper Who Missed Christmas
Jon Rychener
That first Christmas, the town of Bethlehem was filled with the hustle and bustle of people registering for a Roman Census. But in all the commotion, Joseph and Mary were turned away from being given a guest room. What can we learn from the innkeeper who missed the arrival of the Savior? And how can we ensure we make room for Jesus this Christmas? Join us as we seek to answer these important questions.
