Can You Believe It?
“As long as I am in the world,
I am the light of the world.”
John 9:5
Dear Journey Family…
December is here and with it the full on, no restrictions all allowed Christmas season. So merry Christmas!!
We know that the reason for the season is Jesus, his birth, the purpose of his birth and the hope that he brought with him to all people: “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people” said the angel to the shepherds.
And we know that we need to focus on Jesus and celebrate him before we celebrate our families, or ourselves or the celebration itself.
But what does that mean? How do we get to that point to really celebrate, remember, acknowledge, recognize and prioritize him? If we don’t have the answer to that, then we shouldn’t call ourselves Christians. Because this is how we are supposed to live everyday! Remembering him, celebrating him or in other words, worshipping him. Recognizing and exalting him and giving him the first place. If we are trying to do all these things, we shouldn’t call ourselves Christians as well, because if we truly have believed in Jesus, this will ‘flow rivers of living water’ from our hearts, we wouldn’t be able to help it.
So this “Christmas season” are our hearts flowing with rivers of living water? Or are we trying to see how we can fit our worship into our busy schedule?
We invite you to join us for our Sunday morning preaching series “Unbelievable Christmas”.
This season “believing” is a common theme and we hear it often: “Believe in Santa Claus”. “Believe in magic, the Christmas magic”. “Believe in yourself”. And the topic becomes tainted with ideas and philosophies that have nothing to do with Jesus Christ. We want to help you see what the Bible says about believing and specially with the events that surrounded the birth of Jesus.
So please join us in person or online as we start this series that we are praying can fan the flame of your faith.
And also invite people to join us, this is the easiest time to share with others about Jesus, it’s literally everywhere and people have Jesus in their minds one way or another. So go ahead bring someone along!
