Come see the trees! Can you smell Christmas? Part of what gives the season meaning and power are the memories and traditions that we have burned into our memories from childhood. Smells are a big part of that! Like the smell of a freshly cut evergreen.
Come and see the mountain! Now you might be thinking – this is all happening too fast! This morning did you open up your bulletin and think, is it Advent already? It isn’t even December yet!
Can you feel the Christmas spirit? It’s the most wonderful time of the year. There will be parties for hosting and marshmallows for toasting, but do you feel it? Then why is COVID still here? The economy struggling? Families ripping apart? Learn to choose JOY even during dark times.
From scented candles to quiet music, Christmas brings peace. But does it last? Learn how to ensure you spread REAL peace this year. That’s Christmas in Real Life.
Where are you finding hope this Christmas? Lower COVID numbers? The economy? Some Christmas special? Real hope is found only in Jesus.
As Christmas creeps closer, don’t fall for the lies of an empty “holiday celebration”. Your God was sacrificed that you my be redeemed. David’s sin would be paid for. Your sin is paid for. There is rest for David. There is rest for you in Jesus.
