*Bonus* Prepare the Way

Luke 2:21-40 & 41-52

As we continue to celebrate Christmas, we hear childhood stories of Jesus remembering when Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day, when he was presented in the temple, and even when he was found at his Father’s house. These foundational stories help to shape how Jesus “grew in wisdom and stature, in favor with God and man.” How might we remember our foundation of faith as we finish this year well and prepare the way for a New Year?
