Life on Earth is a journey without breaks / brakes. You and I are headed for eternity. For us as Christians the biggest moment is when we will see our LORD: "What will the Lord Jesus have to say to me about the life I have lived?"  2 Corinthians 13:5-8 5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test? 6 But I expect that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test. 7 Now we pray to God that you do nothing wrong; not so that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, though we may ]appear unapproved. 8 For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

Christmas is completely about the GOSPEL.

Our God who so loved the world that He gave His only Son that whosoever would believe in Him would not perish but have everlasting life.

To understand Christmas is to understand basic Christianity, the gospel.

Guest Speaker Pastor David Fernandes shares the word.

The “Gospel Renewal” modules establish a framework to understand the process of inward transformation that God is working through us daily. In essence, we are learning about those elements of following Jesus that are essential to gospel transformation.

The Glory of God unraveled throughout history in the Bible can be our portion, if we pursue Christ.

f we truly desire to be followers of our Lord along the path of discipleship, it is imperative that we first heed the words of our Lord and count the cost of discipleship.

God blesses us so that we can bless the nations.  'God be gracious to us and bless us and cause His face to shine upon us - Selah. Let the nations be glad and sing for joy; For You will judge the peoples with uprightness and guide the nations on the earth - Selah' — Psalm 67:1‭ & ‬4 (NASB)

The Gospel is to be central in our lives but in order to live a Gospel-centered life we ought to grow in the understanding of it's concepts and work to absorb it's truths more deeply into our lives.

We are all called to be an INFLUENCE and be agents of TRANSFORMATION where ever God has placed us.

This life is a journey and there are ups and downs, more downs than ups, maybe. You will agree that we are in a down time now. But these journey's can become life transforming in God.
