    I recently came across a few tongue-in-cheek guidelines for Christmas eating: 1. If you eat something and no-one sees you eat it, it has no calories. 2. If you drink a diet drink with chocolate, the calories in the chocolate bar are cancelled out by the calories in the diet drink! 3. When you eat ...read more

    It’s good to give gifts. The story of the wise men giving their gifts to Jesus teaches us three things about giving today: Give an unexpected gift, give a gift with genuine joy, and give a gift that will last.

    CHRISTMAS: THE GIVING OF GIFTS INTRO TO TOPIC: Have you ever heard anyone say, “Christmas isn’t really about the gifts”? • “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights.” (James 1:17).

    With the greatest gift ever given, the gift of God’s Son, we have received the gift of hope.

    When Christ came to this earth as a baby born in Bethlehem, He came to a world that was without hope. But He brought hope. Hope is a precious commodity in human life. What a contrast of emotions there is between the words, “hopeless” and “hopeful.” The Bible uses both ideas. “Hopeless” describes ...read more

    The cold air keeps us all indoors - unable to take a walk or enjoy the fresh air. Each holiday reminds us of lost loved ones... of blessings that seem to have become curses... that haunt instead of hope.

    Christmas is a wonderful time of the year for most, but for some it ends up being a sad and stressful season. Many are without friends, family, or money searching for joy. Long nights and shorter days seem to loom over spirits like a dark blanket. The cold air keeps us all indoors - unable to ...read more
