NEW JOY
Church

When we’re given good news like a new job, an answer to prayer, the birth of a child, it gives us a reason to share with others.  Out of our initial excitement we know we should tell someone.  Yet for some reason we may delay or not even share the good news at all.  We sometimes keep all this to ourselves including what the Lord is doing in our lives.  It could be out of fear, thinking someone else will do it, or perhaps not sure how the news will be received.  There are several themes to explore around the Christmas story based upon Luke’s Gospel. Our key verse for this series is from Luke 2:10 which states, “But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.”
