God provides a simple solution for all our complex problems that we face. It is Jesus Christ, whose birth we celebrate at Christmas.

Christmas can easily pass us by without any real impact on our relationship with God. This message is Part 1 of a Christmas series that challenges us to fill this season with acts of worship.
