Last Sunday, we explored how God uses families to fulfill His mission, inspired by the Christmas story in Matthew 1:18-25 and Ephesians 2:19-22.

🔑 Key Takeaways:

1️⃣ God chose a family to bring Jesus into the world—Joseph’s obedience, Mary’s faithfulness, and Jesus’ place in a human family remind us of the power of family in God’s plan.

2️⃣ Our families are called to be missional, reflecting Christ’s love and sharing His hope with others.

3️⃣ Christ is the Cornerstone of every family and the household of God. Together, we are being built as a dwelling place for His Spirit (Ephesians 2:22).

🎄 Challenge:

How can your family live missionally this Christmas? Whether it’s inviting neighbors for a meal, serving at a feeding program, or praying for your community, let’s shine the light of Jesus together!

🙌 “As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.” - Joshua 24:15

Sunday Recap: Serving Jesus Through Compassion 🌟

Last week’s sermon, based on Matthew 25:31-40, reminded us of a powerful truth: When we serve others, we serve Jesus Himself.

🧡 Key Takeaways:

• Jesus identifies with the hungry, thirsty, lonely, and forgotten. (“Whatever you did for the least of these, you did for Me.”)
• Acts of compassion aren’t just charity—they’re worship.
• True service reflects God’s heart and draws us closer to Him.

🙏 Challenge for This Week:
Commit to one act of kindness. Whether it’s sharing a meal, visiting someone in need, or simply showing love, let’s make Jesus visible through our actions.

🎄 As Christmas approaches, let’s embody Christ’s compassion. This is the greatest gift we can give Him this season!

💬 How will you serve the “least of these” this week? Share your plans or stories in the comments!

🔥 The Call to Prepare: John the Baptist reminds us that true preparation for Christ isn’t about decorations or gifts—it’s about repentance and renewing our hearts. 💖

🛤️ “Prepare the way of the Lord” (Luke 3:4):

• Repentance isn’t just about feeling sorry; it’s about a radical change of heart and direction.
• 🌄 God wants to fill the valleys of doubt, level the mountains of pride, and straighten the crooked paths of sin in our lives.
• As we reflected on 2024, we gave thanks for God’s faithfulness and renewed our commitment to live in gratitude and mission.

🙏 Let’s keep preparing for Christ’s coming—not just for Christmas, but every day of our lives!

✨ Blessed to Be a Blessing ✨

Last week, we dove into Psalm 67 and were reminded of a powerful truth: God’s blessings are given to us not just for ourselves but for a greater purpose—to make His name known across the earth! 🌍

“God be merciful to us and bless us, and cause His face to shine upon us… that Your way may be known on earth, Your salvation among all nations.” (Psalm 67:1-2)

Here’s what we learned:

1. God blesses us so we can be a blessing to others – Our blessings have a purpose beyond us! 💡
2. A vision for all nations – God’s heart longs for all people to know Him. Do we share that vision? 🌏
3. Living in joyful anticipation – Our lives should reflect His love, justice, and hope, preparing the world for His coming reign. 🙏

Let’s take this call to heart. May we be people who don’t hold onto blessings but share them, spreading His love to everyone around us. Ask yourself: How can I be a vessel of God’s blessing to others today?
