The world today is desperately looking for justice. Jesus in the Sermon on the Mountain gave us three beatitudes that give us guidance on how to live justly in a broken world.

Jesus' Sermon On The Mount is a moral code from another kingdom, for His followers to live be in a broken world

In order to move ONWARDS in the things that God has called us to do, we need to choose not just what is good, but what is BEST!

Each one of us has been given a race to run by God. It is discipline that determines how we finish. Discipline is choosing between what we want now and what we want most.

And God blessed them. And God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.

It is natural to desire the approval of others, but if we choose to live for "likes", we will not fulfill the purpose God has for us.

God has been good to us in 2016 and as we look forward into 2017 He is calling us to press onwards together in this journey of faith.

A gift reflects personality, resources, commitment, thoughtfulness and sacrifice. Ultimately it is an expression of love. When God gave us Jesus, it truly reflected God's great love for every home in the world.

There is nothing like coming home for Christmas and being welcomed with special preparations made with you in mind. Jesus went to prepare the ultimate home for all of us.
