For some people, Christmas is a wonderful holiday filled with joy, laughter, and fun family gatherings. For others, it's precisely the opposite. It's a time where broken promises and disappointment are the only memories that still linger. But, Christmas is actually a promise from God; a promise that He will overcome the worst things in your life with a gift that brings real joy, hope, and peace. If you dread the holidays because of family dysfunction [like the time your Uncle Ed threw a turkey leg at your grandma] or broken promises [like the relative who never shows up], then join us this Christmas season for Pastor Stan's new series "Awkward Family Christmas" as we learn all about a better family and a better promise. These are the promises you can count on. The promises that last forever and never change, no matter how bad, weird, or awkward things get or how big of a mess you make. The promises of joy, hope, peace, and justice are all a part of the real Christmas.
