Service to others is an integral part of being a disciple.

A disciple's pursuit of God includes a pursuit of community that helps them see His will more clearly.

Obedience is not something we do out of fear or in hope of reward. It is something we do to be like the one we love.

Those who follow Christ will find that the reward for their pursuit is God Himself.  There is a joy and a peace that only He can give.

In a world where the truth is hard to know, be good.  People can see what is good, and good helps point to God's truth.

The birth of Christ isn't just a cozy story. It reveals God's intention to understand us at every age or stage of life and in every challenge we face.  He knows our struggles and helps us find our way through them.

The birth of Christ reveals the depth of God's love.  For by sending His Son, He proved how much He desires to make peace with those He loves; giving more than anyone could ever imagine.

The birth narrative of Jesus was recorded and established for the clear purpose of NOT allowing myth to take over the story.  For several reasons, it stands alone as a legitimate accounting of what took place at the birth of Christ.
