“The Scrooge That Lurks Within Us All” – because we are concern about what we can get, instead of what we can give….Christmas reminds us to look outward instead of inward.
Christmas isn’t about putting on the religious mask. It is about maintaining a relationship with the Lord. It is about coming clean about what our life is really like. It is about opening ourselves up to God in such a way that we will forever be changed. It is about admitting our need for God. Don’t let your past take from your present, nor taint your future.
So today, we pause and ask – who is the Christ that we’re about to celebrate? Who is this man – this god – this king – this deliverer whose birth we await?
SUNDAY WORSHIP SERVICE – “You Might Just Surprise Yourself” Let me tell you what the Lord told Gideon that day is true for you today; that you are the child of the most High God. You were born with and for a purpose, and no matter what you have done in the past or how guilty your feel because you believe you failed to do what you thought you should have done; you are healed, restored, and forgiven.
