Giving the Gift

It’s that look on their face when they open the gift and you know you got it right.  Every Christmas, God is waiting for you to open up the gift of His Son.  Seize the wonder of Christmas by beholding the glory of Christ much as Elisabeth understood the glory of the unborn Christ. (Luke 1-2 )  Just as the gift of a savior has been given to you, let Karen guide you towards a path for you to share that gift through this season.

 

 

Receiving the Gift

Some of the most dreaded words of the Christmas season are: “I feel terrible.  I don’t have anything for you.”  Fear of uttering those words create frenzie shopping excursions in search of the perfect generic gift so you won’t be empty handed.  Yet empty handed is the only way to be when approaching the Christ child on Christmas morning.  Through fun yet insightful look at Mary’s Magnificant Luke 1:46-55), Karen will share how to enjoy the season with a sense of expectancy that comes by receiving the true gift of the season, Jesus.

 

 

Being the Gift

The Christmas season brings a tidal wave of the trivial things in life followed by an earth shattering desire to focus on the important: the birth of our savior.   Clinging to the important and warding off the trivial is what transforms us from a breathless holiday blur into a gracious gift to those we love.  Let Karen guide you through the distractions in your life by observing the pressures on Joseph ( Matthew 1-2) to look any where but towards the true desires of God. 

 

Seeing the Gift

Have you ever missed it?  Have you ever looked back at your Christmas season and thought, “I don’t remember seeing Jesus.”  Christmas is this glorious opportunity to look beyond the weight of expectations and the fear of coming up short and seeing- truly seeing- the gift of baby Jesus given to you.  God promised Simeon he would see the Christ child and he did.  God has promised you to see the Christ child.  Learn from Karen how through seeking, listening and stillness you may see Him as never before.

 

All talks are scripture driven and include the clear message of the Gospel.

 

 

To further enhance the experience, Available upon request for each topic is a take home bible study, table discussion questions and a fun, interactive game to be played in groups of 6-12.
