It's easy to miss the story of Christmas amidst all the craziness and clutter of the season. Even when we're able to focus on the story of Christmas we often miss that Christmas is part of the much bigger story of the Bible. This Christmas at Grace we're exploring "The BIG Story of Christmas" by tracing some of the Bible's storylines and how they reach their culmination in the coming of Jesus.

COVENANT RENEWAL 2024
Speakers: Tim Theule
Scripture: Joshua 24:1-15

We see the practice of covenant renewal across the Bible where God's people renew and recommit to their relationship with God together for a new season. New Year's weekend has become a time for covenant renewal here at Grace Central Coast. This year we look at Joshua 24 for our inspiration and guidance.
The Story of the King
Speakers: Tim Theule
Scripture: Luke 1:26-38
Date: 12.24.2023
Our fickle, inconstant hearts both long to be king and long for a good, righteous king who will make the world right. Not surprisingly, the Bible's great story includes "The Story of the King." This Christmas Eve we are telling that story to our hearts.
The Story of the Sacrifice

Scripture: Isaiah 6:1-7 & Luke 5: 12-13
