Introduction:

For those of you who've been with us these past few weeks we have tried to celebrate Christmas through the eyes of heaven. We have talked about hope, peace, joy and love. Tonight, we come to the part of the story where we'll be celebrating what took place around Jesus' birth.

All of us know that Jesus loved to tell stories and he would try to draw us into those stories. Jesus told stories about hope, peace, joy, and love and he used the real world to illustrate what he was trying to say.

Tonight, we are going to hear a story about a couple who lost all hope, were looking for peace, had no joy, and love was a stranger to them. What they forgot was that God never leaves us but we are getting ahead of the story.

As we worship this evening what part are we to play in the Christmas story? How are we to live out our faith?
