Most of us understand the purpose of camouflage - it's used to hide something or someone in plain sight. There are times however when something can be inadvertently camouflaged when instead it should be front and center. Christmas can be like that at times, hidden by the unimportant and distracting things around this time of year. The birth of Jesus is far too important to allow it to be camouflaged by anything!

There are plenty of things that come into play throughout life that can cause us to miss something else important and Christmas is no exception. In fact, the first Christmas was missed by all the religious experts and leaders who should have known the importance of such an event! We can't afford to miss the meaning of Christmas in our own lives today!

Is it possible to actually miss Christmas? It may be hard to miss something like Christmas today, but in fact many almost missed the first Christmas for one reason or another. It's easy in our world today to miss the true meaning and reason for Christmas and this month we're reminded that it's not something to be missed!

You may have heard the church described as a flock, but why? At the end of the day, we as people need the care that a shepherd provides His flock. God offers us guidance, direction, protection and security as His followers, just as a shepherd does his flock!

What does the church mean to you? There are many definitions as to what the church is but throughout Scripture we see many metaphors that are used to describe the church! Today we look at the idea that the Church is a body!
