MESSAGE ARCHIVE

Tis the season…for all things merry and bright and family and drama…or is it? This Christmas here at Element, we are focusing on what God says about family. After all, because of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, God has adopted us into His perfect family and that is cause for rejoicing (and maybe even a few jingle bells!). Last week we talked about stressed out families and how God chooses to redeem our families because of who HE says we are: His precious children.

From Series: "Jingle All The Way"

As we head into Christmas, it is usually a time when family gets together in various degrees; sometimes those family interactions don’t go so well. We are doing a short Christmas series called “Jingle All The Way” because most people feel like we have to act happy and everything is OK when the hard family members show up (we “jingle all the way”). Plus it is the name of an old Arnold Schwarzenegger movie and we had to (at some point) use an Arnold movie title for something. If we are honest, we can all admit that families are hard. In the church we are called a family because God has made us family by adopting us, it starts and ends with Him. Even if you don’t have messed up people in your biological “family” you will have them in the church, so we want to help you to know how to navigate some of that. We plan to look at many dysfunctional family dynamics and then discuss how we are sent to make a difference and be Jesus’ hands and feet to this world.
