Our new talk, “Home for Christmas” is simply a reminder for us as we celebrate another Christmas holiday, to embrace being at home with Christ, and a big part of that is acknowledging who we are in Him.

As we celebrate another Christmas holiday, as we take part in all the family and social events, all the traditions, sometimes just a simple reminder for all of us as believers to remember is why we’re here.

Thanks-giving should be at the heart of every believer confessing Jesus as their savior because it connects us on a more authentic level with His presence.

Here’s a truth we should give a little more consideration, thanksgiving is a heart acknowledgment of something someone did for us. For the born again, thanksgiving is a spiritual force that connects us to more of our Lord’s grace.

When we get used to something, it’s difficult to change direction.

But when we choose to maintain an environment of change, we position ourselves for a higher level of influence.

Canaan represents a new life God has for each of His people. A life that sometimes in the natural looks bigger, more intimating, than we might be comfortable with.

Canaan is the Promised Land. Canaan represents a new life God has for each of His people. Represents God’s best. There are benefits both individually and corporately in Canaan.
