Christmas giving

The best part of Christmas is not the lights of the gifts. It really is the person of Christmas, Jesus, and all He has done to us. Think about the change that God has made in your life.

1 John 3:17 NASB

But whoever has the world’s goods, and sees his brother in need and closes his heart against him, how does the love of God abide in him?

Thank about it. Self or savior? Giver or taker? We know the truth. God knows our hearts. Reach out to those who are struggling and give each the gift of the example of what God’s love looks likes.

Matthew 2:11 NASB

After coming into the house they saw the Child with Mary His mother; and they fell to the ground and worshiped Him. Then, opening their treasures, they presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

The wise men worshipped, gave and were in awe of God. Are we?

Luke 2:20 NASB

The shepherds went back, glorifying and praising God for all that they had heard and seen, just as had been told them.

The shepherds were awe struck. It made them worship. Are we worshipping?

He is the gift of heaven, sent from the Father, revealing authentic glory that can only come from God. Jesus is the gift from God!

Isaiah 9:6 NASB

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

To us and for us … He is … Wonderful counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace! Christmas is meant to be celebrated. Give and Join in.

Have you heard of EDITH BURNS?

Edith Burns was a wonderful Christian who lived in San Antonio, Texas . She was the patient of a doctor by the name of Will Phillips. Dr. Phillips was a gentle doctor who saw patients as people. His favorite patient was Edith Burns. One morning he went to his office with a heavy heart and it was because of Edith Burns. When he walked into that waiting room, there sat Edith with her big black Bible in her lap earnestly talking to a young mother sitting beside her. Edith Burns had a habit of introducing herself in this way: "Hello, my name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Then she would explain the meaning of Easter, and many times people would be saved. Dr. Phillips walked into that office and there he saw the head nurse, Beverly. Beverly had first met Edith when she was taking her blood pressure. Edith began by saying,"My name is Edith Burns. Do you believe in Easter?" Beverly said, "Why yes I do." Edith said, "Well, what do you ...

wash feet, sharing hope

John 13:4-5,14 NLT So he got up from the table, took off his robe, wrapped a towel around his waist, 5 and poured water into a basin. Then he began to wash the disciples’ feet, drying them with the towel he had around him… 14 And since I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you ought to wash each other’s feet. Jesus set the example we follow. He served. He valued and gave value to others. That is why we choose to serve. For 18 years our church has shared an outreach called back2school, and for 16 of those years we have chosen to give students brand new shoes and socks as well as washing their feet. It is one of the most important parts of this event. Washing feet is a humbling experience where both the give and the receiver learn how to share some moments that might change their lives. Jesus said we should do this. See the verse above. Follow His example, do what He did, and give far more than you will ever know....
