O knihe

The impact of the miraculous event of the incarnation continues -- and the light of hope that appeared in the darkness of that night in Bethlehem two thousand years ago still shines on us today, even in the midst of life's most difficult situations. Illustrated with poignant stories and anecdotes, these powerful messages celebrate the heartwarming joy of Christ's coming, and demonstrate how we can rely on the Lord to serve as our steady lighthouse while we navigate the shoals of life.

This seven-part series for Advent, Christmas Eve, the Sunday after Christmas, and Epiphany Sunday provides a comprehensive seasonal resource for busy pastors and worship planners. Each chapter includes a sermon, a children's message, a candle lighting response with scripture reading, and a pastoral prayer.

Chapter titles include:

• In The Darkness Of Despair -- Isaiah 9:2-7

• In The Darkness Of Suffering -- John 1:1-13

• In The Darkness Of Oppression -- Luke 2:1-5

• In The Darkness Of Fear -- Luke 2:6-11

• In The Darkness Of Anxiety -- Luke 2:12-17

• In The Darkness Of Uncertainty -- Luke 2:17-20

• In The Darkness Of Suspicion -- Matthew 2:1-12
