For many, Christmas is filled with sweet memories of family gatherings, meals together, and the exchange of gifts. For others, the memories may not be as sweet. However, in this bonus podcast, Pastor Paul Etterling challenges us to consider the greatest gift available to the world, Jesus Christ. John 3:16 God's love is a great love. God's love is a gracious love. God's love is a giving love. westervillechurch.org
Do you enjoy receiving gifts? Most people, in some measure, do enjoy it. The greatest gift ever given to the world is God's Son, Jesus Christ. This gift is good news. Pastor Paul Etterling challenges the listener to consider why the Gift of Jesus is such good news. Luke 2:8-20 The Gift of Jesus Christ is good news for all people (Luke 2:10). The Gift of Jesus Christ is good news because it is not fake news (Luke 2:11-12). The Gift of Jesus Christ is good news because He is Lord (Luke 2:12). westervillechurch.org
There are many different types of songs. There are ballads, novelty songs, love songs, lullabies, anthems and many more. No matter what type of song you listen to, there is the potential of it changing your attitude. Some songs depress you. Others lift your spirits. The song of Zechariah is a song of celebration. Pastor Paul Etterling challenges us to sing the song of a soul set free. Luke 1:67-80 The song of a soul set free is... ...a song of Redemption ...a song of Fulfillment ...a song of Transformation ...a song of Liberation www.westervillechurch.org
The songs we sing at Christmas time are always joyful. There is something about them that lifts our spirits. This is especially true for followers of Jesus Christ when we sing Christmas Hymns. In this message, Pastor Paul challenges us to know God better through the first Christmas Hymn ever sung. It is Mary's song known as "The Magnificat". Luke 1:46-56 God is Personal God is Powerful God Keeps His Promises www.westervillechurch.org
Struggle is a part of life. It is a result of the presence of sin in the world. Often, it is not just one struggle, it is many struggles. Sometimes they come all at once.

Mark 14:26-31 www.westervillechurch.org
