This week we look at 5 responses in Luke 1 and 2. Three of them flow out of the angelic announcements from last week and two of them are reactions from Jesus’ birth. All of them result in songs of praise to God as they make up the overarching symphony of Christmas in the birth narrative. How do you respond to Jesus’ birth? Is it with praise and glo…

To kick off the Christmas season we'll look at three angelic announcements in Luke 1 and 2. In each situation, the angel says, "do not fear!" Then, it is quickly followed with an announcement of great joy.

Certainly, we're promised an abundant life in Christ with purpose and eternity with God, but then why is life so complicated and difficult, even for believers? …
