Two Big Christmas Events!

Did You See That Angel?

Angels appear multiple times in Matthew and Luke as part of the Christmas Story, primarily as messengers to Zacharias, Mary, the Shepherds, and Joseph. 

Angels have other roles in God’s work as well.  And in today’s devotional, I talk about a role that has always intrigued me.  The very thought of it keeps me on my toes.

I hope it does the same for you!

William Caylor, Isaac Lewis, and Lexi Sanchez as the Shepherds.
