Good morning precious Christ's Church Family and Friends, Before I share today's Christmas Devotional, I want to remind everyone that we will be meeting tonight at 7:00 p.m. for Small Group Bible Studies. Come out and join us as we study God's Word! Today's Bible reading is: John 3:1-7, 16-21; John 4:5-9, 13-19, 39-42; Deuteronomy 18:15-16 Romans 5:8 says "God shows His great love for us in this way: Christ died for us while we were still sinners." Let me share a portion of Max Lucado's book In the Grip of Grace today and let it speak to your heart. "Can anything make me stop loving you?" God asks. "Watch Me speak your language, sleep on your earth, and feel your hurts. Behold the Maker of sight and sound, as He sneezes, coughs, and blows His nose. You wonder if I understand how you feel? Look into the dancing eyes of the kid in Nazareth; that's God walking to school. Ponder the toddler at Mary's table; that's God spilling His milk. You wonder how long my love with last? Find your answer on a splintered cross, on a craggy hill. That's Me, you see up there, your Maker, your God,…

Good morning precious Christ's Church Family and Friends, Today's Bible reading is: John 1:35-51; Isaiah 11:2; John 2:1-3, 6-11 Psalm 63:3 says "Because Your loving-kindness is better than life. My lips shall praise You. Anne Graham Lotz said this in her book Just Give Me Jesus... "No means of measure can define God's limitless love. No far-seeing telescope can bring into visibility the coastline of His shore-less supply. No barrier can hinder Him from pouring out His blessings. He forgives and forgets, He creates and He cleanses. He restores and He rebuilds. He heals and He helps. He reconciles and He redeems. He comforts and He carries. He lifts and He loves. He is the God of the second chance. He is the God of the fat chance, the slim chance." Today my prayer is just give me JESUS! He makes change possible! With Much love, Pastor Bob

Good morning precious Christ's Church Family and Friends, What a fantastic day at the house of the Lord yesterday! The Service Sunday morning was just out of sight and the Toddlers Christmas songs were great. I will be posting a video of their performance to the website if you missed it. And a huge thanks to the Turn or Burn Youth Cooks for their amazing hot chocolate that they served up during our Church Christmas Fellowship last night! It was a great time. Today's Bible reading is: Isaiah 40:3-5; Matt. 3:1-2, 4-6; Mark 1:9-11; Isaiah 11:2; Psalms 2:7; Matt. 4:1-11; John 1:19-34 And now for today's Christmas Devotional. John 1:17 says "Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." The Word grace means more than just God's kindness or gentleness toward us, or even His mercy. It means His undeserved favor. It means God owes nothing to us, and we deserve nothing from Him. When the Bible says ""By grace you have been saved" (Eph 2:5) it means our salvation was totally unmerited. It came solely because of God's grace. The motive of grace is the infinite compassionate love of a merciful God, but the work of grace was Christ's death…
