The Disruption of Love
Pastor Mark Bergen
Text: Isaiah 7:1-14 (NIV)

Matthew 1:18-25
How does the light of Christmas change the “dark days of life”?
Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:2

Research shows that we generally deal with the stress of trials and dark days in one of three ways:

1. Disappointment
   Job 30:26
   

2. Depression
   Psalm 88:18
   

3. Doubt
   John 12:35
   

How can the disruption of love transform us?

1. The promise of His presence – Immanuel
   

2. The presence of His light as an antidote to stress of our trials and dark days.
   

How will you respond to the disruption of Christ’s love and light this Christmas?
