Hey, thanks for joining us here at Life Church.

Before we get into this week's message, I'd love to invite you, your friends and your

family to join us for one of our many services, this Christmas at all of our Life Church locations,

to find a location that's closest to you, plus a full list of service times, you can go to

Life.Church slash Christmas.

Now let's join up with our Senior Pastor, Crico Shell, for this part of his message called

Travel Life.

Well, on behalf of my entire family, my bride and best friend Amy, my six children, my

two son-in-law, my one grand kid and my second grandchild that's on the way in the oven

as we speak.

I want to wish all of you the most merry and faith-filled Christmas.

It's one of the greatest honors of my life for the 23rd consecutive year to talk to you

out of God's word about celebrating the miracle of the Virgin birth as we honor God, who became

one of us in Emmanuel Jesus, God with us.

We celebrate his goodness today and I'm honored to take a little bit of time to break

open God's word with you.

We are in a message series called Travel Light.

And we're talking about letting go of some of the things in this world that hold us back

spiritually.

Today, what I want to do is I want to let Luke chapter 1 speak to us about letting go

of control.

If you're new with us, we're a participatory church.
