    It is normal to have a longing for home, especially during the Christmas Holy Days. Before God created mankind, he had a plan on the drawing board. His plan was to create an environment in which He would place mankind.

    Why The Christ Child

    Contributed by Douglas Phillips on Apr 20, 2017
     | 4,320 views

    WE CAN CELEBRATE THE FACT THAT GOD’S PRESENCE WITH US IS A CONSTANT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION AND ENCOURAGEMENT FOR GOD’S CHILDREN. WE CAN GAIN COMFORT IN THE REALIZATION THAT BECAUSE GOD IS WITH US, WE CAN FACE LIFE'S SITUATIONS, KNOWING WE ARE NOT ALONE.

    WHY THE CHRIST CHILD ISAIAH 53:1-12 LAST WEEK WE BEGAN OUR ADVENT CELEBRATION LEADING UP TO CHRISTMAS BY LOOKING AT THE NAME “IMMANUEL – GOD WITH US.” THIS BLEST PROMISE ALLOWS US TO REALIZE THAT GOD IS WITH US EACH DAY OF OUR LIVES, NOT JUEST AT CHRISTMAS.

    THE DEPTH OF THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS IS BEING LOST, AS THE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS OF THE WORLD LESSENS. CHRISTMAS IS NO LONGER BEING CELEBRATED AS THE BIRTH OF CHRIST. THE RESULT IS A LOSS OF HOPE FOR THE WORLD AND THE CHURCH.
