The peace of our King and Savior Jesus. His plan for all of us is His Shalom; His well-being and peace. The God of the day, the year, the life we have been given offers us His peace. The death-less shepherd, our helper in fear, Jesus, has overcome death and triumphed. 

John Newton, an ex-slaver, wrote the song Amazing Grace, looking over his journals, from a place of awe in the mercies of Yahweh on his life. Pastor Eric calls for thanksgiving and an understanding of our God's mercies every morning, every year. Of all peoples, we, the children of Yahweh, should have our souls set on thanksgiving. 

Born of a woman, the "Son of Man". The divine Son of God, He has taken the true humanity, for the Joy set before him, to redeem us to Himself. That which He has not assumed, He has not healed, but praise be to God that He has assumed it all. 

The Joy of Christmas is the tangible reality of fundamental change through Jesus, our savior. The joy of Christmas is the joy of the celebration of the reign of our God. 

Arise in peace. Arise in faith in Christ, through whom all is made whole and reconciled to Yahweh through the blood He shed on the cross. 

Pastor Dave addresses the assurance and pursuit of our hope in Christ, and Christena O'Connor gives her Testimony.

We have not come to mount of death and fire, but Mt. Zion; the new heaven and the new earth with access to Yahweh through the Son by the power of the Holy Spirt. 

Surrounded by this cloud of witnesses, we profess together with the saints Jesus' reign over the world as King as co-heirs and co-laborers with Christ we act with substance and evidence for our faith. 

Cultural religiosity waters down the life-changing truth of our access to Yahweh. May we pray for mercy and understanding and thankfulness for our High Priest Jesus; tempted yet without sin, not unable to sympathize with our humanness, He has redeemed us to Father God from the grave to fullness in life, now and forever, with Him.

Through His blood, we are redeemed.
