Something to Think About:
Be bold and stand for Christ
2 Thessalonians 2-3
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, 2 not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. 3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,
Scripture warns us of abandoning the faith, especially professing Christians. We have to be careful this never happens to us. When Christians stand together and express their love for Christ, changes can happen, particularly in society and everyday conversation. An example of this, is that people are now saying Merry Christmas, more than every before instead of saying Happy Holidays or Season’s Greetings and are no longer afraid of being politically correct.

Theme: Traditions
Traditions are special things we do every year. The older we get we reflect and fondly remember family traditions. Through time life changes and people change. Always knowing that the church family will be out together on Christmas eve is the most wonderful tradition. Christmas is not about the lights and presents, it is about a love so deep that we can be the hands and feet of Jesus on earth. The true gift of Christmas is receiving Jesus as our Saviour and it is the best gift we can give someone else and always sharing the gospel message throughout the year. In a world of terrorism, recession and poverty hope is hard to come by, but if we are looking for hope, simply look to Jesus. The Christmas story is all about hope.
2 Corinthians 9:15
15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
