From the Desk of Pastor Tom
The greatest Christmas promise is a promise of hope, joy, and peace. It first came in a world terribly broken by rebellion and loss. Genesis 3, God promised he would send a redeemer. And as people lived, worked, married, rejoiced, wept, and waited, they knew that there was a Savior promised to come make everything right again. The good joys of life are a taste of the ultimate good that God has prepared for his people, while the struggles of life that come from sin’s curse remind us of our need for Christ.
Ecclesiastes is God’s divine reminder that life without God is eternally meaningless yet life with God is eminently good with eternal meaning and enjoyment. This is what we celebrate every December. The joy of earthly gifts should remind us of the joy of the greatest heavenly gift. The hope of Christmas time as a family directs our hearts towards the hope of a restored relationship with our Creator. The joy of a family at peace points us towards the joy of peace with God.
The anticipation of Christmas comes from a worldwide celebration of anticipating a Savior. The buildup, the decorations, the songs, all prepare for the fulfillment.
New Classes Starting Soon
As we head into the new year, we are excited to announce two new adult classes that you won’t want to miss. Pastor Tom and Craig and Karen Moran will be leading a class for our Young Adults, diving into a fascinating study titled “The Air We Breathe – How We All Came to Believe in Freedom, Kindness, Progress, and Equality”. This class is sure to spark thought-provoking discussions and help us better understand what it means to live with freedom, kindness, progress, and equality as guiding principles. And for our current adult class, we will be diving into an in-depth study on Galatians. We believe that this study will provide us with valuable insights into living a faithful and fruitful life. We invite you to join us and look forward to growing together in faith and community this new year.
