Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

Romans 4:13-25

Paul, continuing his discussion to the Roman church in the 1st century, describes the relevant truth that our salvation is by grace through faith alone, resulting in a transformed life that serves others. Gene Sherman

In the second half of the 3rd chapter of the book of Romans, Paul describes for 21st century believers (as well as 1st century) what it means to respond to that belief. By unwrapping the gift that God offers, Christians can know the joy and peace that only an authentic walk with Christ produces in us.

Paul's letter to the Romans informs 21st century followers of Christ just as it did in the 1st century. Chapter 3 in Romans eloquently describes for the believer the advantages that we all have for those who place their trust in Christ.

Christian life is in essence one of great joy. Isaiah 61 explains how we, as modern day believers, experience such personal joy through revival and mission.

For many Christmas is a time for family, friends, gift exchanges, and feasting. For others, Christmas is a profound time of loneliness & pain.

John the disciple tells us that that Christmas means far more than we could have ever imagined and this meaning is good news for all. Gene Sherman

In this service of Lessons and Carols, we rediscover the redemptive work of Jesus Christ throughout all of the scripture.

“As the journey of Advent continues, as we prepare to celebrate the nativity of Christ, John the Baptist's call to conversion sounds out in our communities. It is a pressing invitation to open our hearts and to welcome the Son of God Who comes among us to make divine judgement manifest. The Father, writes St. John the Evangelist, does not judge anyone, but has entrusted the power of judgement to the Son, because He is the Son of man.

Our hope is in the coming of the Lord! May hope and love dwell in our hearts this first week of Advent.

Therefore stay awake—for you do not know when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or in the morning—lest he come suddenly and find you asleep. And what I say to you I say to all: Stay awake.” (Mark 13:35-37)
