Sermon Notes
Date: 12/24/2024
Description:
And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, in a dream, saying,
“Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife; for the Child who has been conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”
Merry Christmas and welcome to our special Scandia Bible Church Christmas Eve Service for 2024, as we gather and praise the coming of our Lord and Savior with our traditional Lessons and Carols service — a progression of scripture readings, congregational hymns, and instrumental and vocal music from our church family… to remind and retell the story of stories that would forever change the world.
