Nurture like a mother, encourage like a father, and receive the word of God.

God will allow tests so cracks in our character will be exposed and He will guide us to opportunites to repair those cracks. (Note: the service was cut short due to a health emergency with one of our members that required medical care in the middle of service and the sanctuary to be evacuated, please excuse the abrupt ending.)

Thessalonians was written by Paul to assure the church of Theassalonica of Paul's love and concern for them, to ground them in sound doctrine and to correct some weaknesses. The book has the same mission for the churches of today.

Daily charge for 2023: armor up, live worthy of the calling and serve others.

As we look at John 3:16 we realize in this familiar passage that God gave the world the greatest Christmas gift ever given, all we have to do is believe.

In Luke Chapter 2 we learn of young shepherds out in the fields that get the birth announcement from the heavenly hosts and quickly go and meet the Christ child while the bustling town of Bethlehem misses him due to their busy-ness.

In this episode the wise men were sent by Herod for an evil plan but after they worshipped the savior they knew to go a different way and Herod missed Christ in Christmas.

As the infant Jesus was brought into the temple a couple of devout and righteous elders, who were filled with the Holy Spirit, recognized the Saviour and prophesied to Mary and Joseph as everybody else missed Him in the business of the activities including the religious officials.

As we approach Christmas Day we are looking at individuals and groups that recognize Christ in Christmas and those that miss Christmas.  This episode takes a look at Mary and Joseph.

Paul's final encouragement and greetings to the church att Colossae.
