A Not So Cookie Cutter Christmas

Christmas is arguably one of the biggest Holidays of the year. And one of the focal points is a decoration called “The Nativity.” And these scenes are displayed depicting solemn characters in a serene setting almost too perfect for words. And when we hear songs like away in a manger, and silent night, we create a picturesque image of what the birth of the most influential person in the world looked like.  The reality is, that the real story was nothing like that. The event we celebrate in one night actually took place over the coarse of several years. And its a dark story to tell. A story full of adversity, and under dogs. But one thing is for certain…Its a not so cookie cutter Christmas story. And if you open your heart and mind as we dive into the incredible event…I believe it will change your life forever.

O Little Town of Bethlehem (You ain’t seen nuttin’ yet!)

GivepdAs we enter the holiday season, we naturally become conscious of the need to be generous. One of the hallmarks of the church is crazy generosity. One of the ways we live this out is in the way we finance the ministry of the local church. Many of us give out of guilt or obligation, or deep sense of duty. Many of us don’t even know why we give or how we should give. Join us this November, as we explore how to honor God with the what, the how, and the why of giving.

Change: Going through the process

vlifeoneEveryone of us wrestle with decisions that make us mentally assault ourselves. We say to ourselves…”you idiot, or I hope nobody finds out,” when we make mistakes. But then we go about our daily lives pretending like those things never happen. We have a self-defense mechanism that comes into play called pride. Pride, which really can be defined as “self-love,” in order to protect ourselves, prompts us to blame other people for the mistakes we have made. Until we get to the place that we stop making excuses and defending our decisions, we will never be able to go through the change process. And until we change, we will continue to battle the same issues. But there is hope, for we are overcomers through our faith in Jesus Christ. And we have God’s promise, that if we follow by faith, He will work everything out for our good. Even the mistakes.
