Tis the season to be joyful, right? But no matter how festive the traditions or fluffy the snow

or twinkly the lights, Christmas sentiments just won't get us there. Today we're going to talk about

where to find complete joy and how to make our home in Christ.

Welcome to the Sheproos Faithful Podcast, episode number 106, truth and encouragement to live

gospel-centered lives every day.

I'm your host, Lauren Lushak.

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his son, born of a woman, born under the law,

to redeem those who were under the law so that we might receive adoption as sons.

Galatians chapter 4 versus 4 and 5.

That's actually part of Christmas Day's Bible reading plan if you follow

Sheeprews Faithful in the Word, the Bible reading plan that I put out every month. You can still

access it for free at sheeprewsfaithful.com slash Bible and get a little calendar that has

scriptures to read every day. Maybe you're looking for something a little Christmasy this season.

I encourage you to

sign up. You get a little password and you can access it printed out for free. Isn't it amazing?

I was just talking to my friend Christy at church on Sunday that the Bible points to Christmas.

In the Old Testament, everyone looked forward to the coming of the Messiah and now we look back

on Jesus when he came, his birth,

obedience to the Father, death, and resurrection. So Jesus really is the light of the world.

And when he came, everything was different. So we can read verses in Galatians. And it totally

relates to Christmas. Well, welcome. Thank you so much for joining me today on the Sheepru's Faithful Podcast.

I'm so thankful that you are listening and that I can be part of your day.
