    There are I believe three important character traits that we as Christians would do well to adopt for ourselves in the character of Mary the Mother of Jesus 1. Her humility 2. Her commitment to God and 3. Her bravery.

    The call of God is the greatest privilege granted us.

    In My Father’s House Luke 2:41-52 I am sure many of us have wondered about Jesus’ early life and upbringing.

    Growing With Jesus

    Contributed by James May on Dec 30, 2018
     | 9,800 views

    Jesus had to submit himself to his parents in order to grow up and mature in wisdom and understanding before he could step out into ministry. Should we not humble ourselves, submit to leaders over us and grow up spiritually, emptying ourselves of pride before we attempt to minister to others.

    Growing with Jesus Sunday, December 30, 2019 By Rev. James May From the time of Jesus’ birth to his appearance at the Jordan River to be baptized by John the Baptist, little is known about Jesus’ childhood and growing up.

    The story of a 12 year-old boy left behind in Jerusalem by his parents? Sound familiar? Almost sounds like a Christmas classic movie! Not exactly. This is the story of the Son of God, knowing who he was and why he was here.

    As I read through the account from Luke 2 which you heard this morning of how Jesus was left behind by his parents in Jerusalem, I couldn’t help but think of what has become classic Christmas movie, “Home Alone.” If you’re not familiar with the movie, it’s about a boy around the age of 10-12 ...read more
