Brand New Baby Jesus

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6 NIV) Every child that is born brings joy to people's hearts, but this child in particular came to bring more - new life, joy, love, hope, peace, etc... Because of this birth, we could be born again!! Your spiritual birth is just as important as the day you were born into the world!! Praise God that the brand new baby Jesus could make us so brand new!!!!

The Boy Who Played The Drums

Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. (Romans 12:1 NIV) God has given you gifts... Gifts that are different than the ones your friends and family have. When you use your gifts to bless others, it blesses God!! God wants us to give Him our very BEST!! Just like the little drummer boy - playing his drum was all he could offer, but he played it for Jesus and it was his best. He gave God everything he had! How are you going to use your gifts to bless others and God this Christmas season??

Joy To The World!

"He continued, "Go home and prepare a feast, holiday food and drink; and share it with those who don't have anything: This day is holy to God. Don't feel bad. The joy of God is your strength!" (Nehemiah 8:10 MSG) What are you going to rejoice about this season?!? The JOY of The Lord is your strength!! Jesus gave his life for you! That's something to rejoice about!!

"JOY TO THE WORLD, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing!"
