"It's the most wonderful time of the year," or so the song says. Of course, Christmas is a much more complex holiday than this. This season can evoke many different types of feelings and emotions in us. We can feel joy, peace, and happiness. However, we can also experience stress, worry, and even anger. In this sermon series, we'll explore four different Bible passages that focus on the types of feelings people had as they experienced Jesus' birth. We'll also recognize how their feelings are strikingly similar to some of the ones we have at Christmastime.
