Love Came Down

This Sunday starts a new quarter of LifeMatters. We’re studying the Christmas story this month, but for most of us, the Christmas season has been in full swing for a while.

Each year stores decorate earlier and earlier, so they can capitalize on everyone’s Christmas spirit. Maybe you love Christmas and play carols all year long, or perhaps you’re a strict believer in “the Christmas season doesn’t start until the day after Thanksgiving.” Either way, we tend to take the Christmas story for granted. After all, we hear it so much!

This month we’ll be looking at the Christmas story with a fresh perspective. We hope this month’s study will help you rediscover the life-changing power that the Christmas story had the first time you heard it.

Here’s this week’s interactive link to aid your study:

And don’t forget to study this week’s Advent reading, Luke 1:26-56.

Merry Christmas!

I really appreciate the referral to David Platt’s sermon. It prompted me to note all the nostalgia in Christmas. The reality is that the one, through whom all of creation was created, came to earth to live among us. But we didn’t recognize him then, and all too often we don’t recognize him now. Peace, Alan.

I also really appreciate the referral to Platt’s sermon. I also appreciate this lesson’s emphasis on God’s simultaneous divinity and humanity, not “half god, half man.” Thank you, writers! Thank you for leading us in the Word in this essential truth.

This is my first time using LifeMatters. I am so excited! Can’t wait to get started. You prove such an abundant amount of materials, which is wonderful. My group is a little late starting, but I’m really looking forward to it all.
