The spirit of Christmas isn't captured by Jingle Bells or I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus. We hear the spirit of Christmas in the song Mary lifted to God as she celebrated the gift of the Savior in her womb. We hear it in the words Zechariah sang after his wife Elizabeth gave birth to their long-awaited and God-given son, John the Baptist. And we hear it especially in the song the angels sang at Jesus' birth, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.” Join us for this Advent Series as we hear The Songs of Christmas.

The Chilean miners felt joy when they were rescued from the collapsed mine. A young man felt joy when he was adopted and became a part of a family. These stories illustrate how joy should be our natural response to God because of the salvation we find in him.
