Can there be a perfect Christmas? It is so easy to get caught up in the busyness of the season so let's take time to remember how Jesus changed the world and the impact He had and is having on humanity. He truly is the reason for the season.
We often imagine Jesus born in a wooden stable with animals nearby, but the Bible simply says there was no room in the inn, and He was placed in a manger. Whether a cave, a room attached to a house, or a stable, the significance is that the King of Kings was born in humble circumstances. Join us this week as we focus on how this humility reflects God's heart toward the lowly.
Many believe that the three wise men were present at Jesus' birth. In reality, they arrived much later. The myth of their immediate presence diminishes the message of persistence in seeking Christ. The wise men's long journey symbolizes the ongoing search for truth in a world that needs a Savior. Christ is worth the long and arduous search, and those who seek Him will find life-altering truth.

Matthew 6:25-34 - Jesus commands us not to worry. Do we really believe this?
