As we continue to fix our eyes on Jesus this Advent season we look back centuries before Jesus’ birth. God has sent Jesus, the Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father and Prince of Peace. Today we look at the great name of Jesus and what that means to us.

Today we look at another classic passage surrounding the Advent of Jesus. Today we fix our eyes on Jesus becoming nothing and what that means for you and I.

As we continue to fix our eyes on Jesus this Advent season, we look into a classic passage this morning to see the greatness of Jesus.

The celebration of Advent begins today. It is always a special season of focus. Advent simply means coming. Our focus centers around three comings of Christ: His arrival in history as a baby born of Mary, His return in fearsome glory at the end of time and His entrance into our own lives. This season we will be encouraged to fix our eyes on Jesus.

God's grace abounds in us so we may abound in generosity and yield a fruit of thanksgiving to God for His indescribable gift.

With an enemy in the waiting to pounce on the church with delusion and deception gratitude becomes an essential guardian for our souls in our walk with the Lord. When gratitude is present we are seeing the grace of God and it is expressed in our relationship and prayers to the Lord and in our relationship with others. May we truly see and walk in the grace of God today and have gratitude overflowing from our lives.

Over the next three Sundays we are going to look at the importance of gratitude and how it is an essential guardian to our soul.

The simple metaphor of us being the body of Christ carries a tremendous weight in how we should be working together as a single unit. One of the great things about Paul’s words to the church in Corinth is the idea that every member has its part. Just as each member of the body has a role the same is true of Christ’s body, the Church that He has redeemed. Have you ever stopped to think about what your “part” is?

As week seek to live everyday for God's mission we are encouraged by Jesus with assurance and an aim. As we look at the aim giving to us we will look at some important mission practices, so that we bear lasting fruit.
