The Work of Christmas Begins, with Rev. Dr. Steven Koski. Series: Epiphany 2023 A Spacious Christianity, First Presbyterian Church of Bend, Oregon. Scripture: John 1:14, Luke 1:38.

This Epiphany, we will seek to rediscover and recommit to the values and principles that are at the heart of the Christmas story. Values including love, compassion, peace, and justice. What if Christmas is not just a one-time event? but a continual process of striving to live out these values and make the world a better place. This Sunday, Is there a “YES” inside of us? Can we bring that positive attitude into all of our interactions with others? By changing the words we live by, we have the potential to change our own lives and the world around us.

At First Presbyterian, you will meet people at many different places theologically and spiritually. And we love it that way. We want to be a place where our diversity brings us together and where conversation takes us all deeper in our understanding of God.

We call this kind of faith “Spacious Christianity.” We don’t ask anyone to sign creeds or statements of belief. The life of faith is about a way of being in the world and a faith that shows itself in love.
