Dear ,         
 

Do you have your home ready for Christmas? Have the floors been swept, the shelves dusted, the windows cleaned? Are the decorations all in place, the gifts purchased and the meals planned?   Have the greeting cards been sent, the family and friends invited, the activities scheduled? It's a big job getting ready for a big celebration. There are many details requiring attention, and even more work to complete, to make the event one to remember.  

 

But, how about your heart? Is it just as ready for Christmas?

 

Isn't it ironic that our preparation for Christmas usually involves all of the hustle and bustle of preparing the physical, but lacks the true preparation required to receive the Peace we really need, and desire. We are more careful to hang the stockings by the chimney with care than we are to examine ourselves to make sure that there is nothing within our spirit that would prevent Christmas, or the coming of Christ into our heart.

 

So, how do we make preparations to receive this wonderful Christmas gift?   We do so by being quiet, by listening, by humbling ourselves in repentance as we examine our relationships, our motives, our thoughts, our actions. We seek His cleansing as we draw close to Him, searching, waiting, expecting, longing for, anticipating the celebration of His arrival.

 

Take time this week to prepare your heart for Christmas.   Step away from all the glitzy trappings of the holiday and get alone with God. Read Scripture, pray, reflect, ask Him to cleanse you of anything that interferes with your relationship, and to bless you with His Peace, His Comfort, His Wisdom and His Love. Ask Him to make your heart ready for Christmas.

 

Come, thou long expected Jesus

Born to set thy people free

From our fears and sins release us

Let us find our rest in Thee 


Blessings,

Steve <><

  
 
  
Prayer           
Prayer
In Store or On Line

Pastor Timothy Keller explores the power of prayer.  Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But aside from learning prayers by rote, few receive instruction or guidance in how to make the most of this essential Christian act--how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In "Prayer," renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act.

With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers brilliant and inspirational biblical guidance, as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader.

BOOK OF THE MONTH
I Am a Church Member
In Store Price - $5.00

Best-selling author and ministry leader Thom S. Rainer drew an exceptional response when he posted a 500-word declaration about church membership to his daily blog. "I Am a Church Member" started a conversation about the attitudes and responsibilities of church members -- rather than the functional and theological issues -- that previous new member primers all but ignored.

 

Thoughtfully expanded to book form, I Am a Church Member begins to remedy the outbreak of inactive or barely committed church members, addressing without apology what is expected of those who join a body of believers. When a person's attitude is consistently biblical and healthy, matters of giving, serving, and so forth will fall into place more naturally.


Six intentional chapters with study questions guide this rising discussion:
1. I Will Be a Unifying Church Member
2. I Will Not Let the Church Be About My Preferences and Desires
3. I Will Pray for My Church Leaders
4. I Will Lead My Family to Be Healthy Church Members
5. I Will Be a Functioning Member
6. I Will Treasure Church Membership as a Gift

What is Advent?

This free e-Chart, "What is Advent" is taken from the pamphlet "The Christmas Story".

 

 

 

 

The Christmas Story: Scripture from the Gospels and the Prophets 

 

Here is the story of Jesus' birth and the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies in a beautiful pamphlet that can be used as a handout at Christmas and as a Bible study to use during Advent. Using traditional wording from Matthew and Luke's Gospels, and beautiful full-color art, this pamphlet starts with the angelic announcement of John the Baptist's birth and the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary. It continues with Mary and Joseph traveling to Nazareth, the birth of Jesus, and the visitation of the shepherds and the Wise Men. It ends with the Gospel story and a forward look toward Christ's second coming. This beautiful pamphlet will be treasured. Size: 8.5 x 5.5 inches; unfolds to 38 inches. 14 panels. Fits inside a Bible cover.


Contains suggestions for Advent celebrations and traditional suggested readings; also includes suggestions for using the pamphlet as a Christmas program script.

 

 

The Christmas Story is available in the store or On Line.

Some Parting Fun...                            

The nativity play was going as planned and Joseph and Mary were going from house to house knocking on the doors and asking it there was any room for them.

 

As they continued to get "no room" answers a little voice called from the back "YOU SHOULD HAVE BOOKED!" bringing the house down.
