This Week’s Bible Story

The Christmas Story (Luke 1) A savior is someone who rescues someone else. Sin creates a separation between us and God that we cannot repair. Thankfully, God loved us enough to send Jesus, our Savior, to save us from our sin and bring us back to Him.
Monthly Verse: Today your Savior was born in David’s town. He is Christ, the Lord. LUKE 2:11 (ICB)
