The Hinge of History

 The Hinge of History

Galatians 4:4-5



Hearers of the Word:

Central Truth: God sent forth His Son



  1. The incarnation of Christ
    1. When did God send His son?
      1. In the fullness of Time
    2. How did God send His Son?     {{my two favorite words in scripture} BUT, GOD!}
      1. Born of woman
      2. Born under the law


  1. The substitution of Christ


To be continued…


Doers of the Word…


We often look forward to Christmas.  Maybe it’s the lights, cider, or gifts – it’s surely not the weather in Texas. As we embark this advent season to prepare and anticipate the celebration and worship of Christ first coming, I noted a few things I want to (re)-learn this year.  (1) God’s plan is always bigger and greater.  (2) Life can change suddenly and instantly. (3) We are not meant to figure things out on our own. (4)  There is a cost and a blessing to obedience.  (5) Fulfilling God’s plans will have its challenges and rewards.

What lessons will you learn this year?   Let us enjoy the season, embrace the season, and learn from the season.

This evening will have moments of somber reflection, enlightening insights, and joyous praise. I want to first say thank you for the giving of yourself as a hostess for a table at this feast. You are an intricate part of the evening and help set the atmosphere for all gathering. As a hostess there are a few ways to help others at your table enjoy the experience. First, you will bring dishes, glasses (2 sets), silverware and a pitcher. Also, a centerpiece to adorn your table is desired. We asked kindly that it would be such that your guests can still converse and see one another as this is an important part of the evening. Tablecloths and napkins will be provided. If you have napkins that you would like with your place settings you may use those. You will also be given three candles and matches to be placed upon...
