Wow! - 2007 is coming to an end! This week I've been a bit under the weather and perhaps that has made me a bit more contemplative than normal! There is so much to absorb as the year comes to the end - my personality just doesn't want to miss out on anything!
This past week was awesome! We had an incredible time reflecting on Immanuel on Sunday - God with us! Thank you God for putting on skin and coming to dwell among us! God with us! We need you every day!
On Monday - our first Christmas Eve services were packed and we reflected on the Lamb of God! The sinless sacrifice that took away all our sin - came to earth as Immanuel. The names of God provide us with so much insight into his character and encourage us to live our lives different than before we had the knowledge of him. That night we met by candlelight and the word of John 1 encouraged us to Come - to where He is, to take the time to Learn from Him and even though we have not figured out all the theological implications - to Tell others! We know he is the Messiah, Immanuel, the Lamb of God! As Andrew brought his brother Simon - who would be called Peter - we never know what God has in store if we will just share the good news!
And now - this Sunday we will Celebrate all the God has done in 2007! What a year - what a ride! I hope that you will come - that you will celebrate and that you will be free!
Keep in touch! 2008 is going to about going deeper and the next steps of our journey together at Oasis!
With Love
Pastor Scott
