Pastor’s Christmas Letter – Prepare the Way Theme

Pastor's Christmas Letter for (YEAR)

Christmas Greetings!

As the Christmas Season is upon us once again, I've been thinking about the incredible opportunity we have as Christians.

The Bible tells us the story of John the Baptist, whose primary purpose of ministry was to be the one who would prepare the way for the Messiah. This was so the Messiah would have an entry point into the lives of the people. Yet, before He could come into the hearts of the people, an important thing needed to take place in their hearts, and it's called “repentance.”

A Thankful Spirit – Thanksgiving Letter

Thanksgiving Greetings!

It seems so appropriate that before we get to “the most wonderful time of the year”, that we take a few moments to express our thanks to God.

For many people Thanksgiving is a day to eat too much and watch football for the entire day. Yet, we as Christians know it goes far deeper than that, even though we may enjoy those things as well.

It's important that we have a thankful spirit!

John Henry Jowett, a British preacher of an earlier generation, said this about gratitude: “Gratitude is a vaccine, an antitoxin, and an antiseptic.” What did he mean? He meant that gratitude, like a vaccine, can prevent the invasion of a disgruntled, discouraged spirit. Like an antitoxin, gratitude can prevent the effects of the poisons of cynicism, criticalness, and grumbling. Like an antiseptic, a spirit of gratitude can soothe and heal the most troubled spirit.

There are a few things I wanted to share about the importance of having a thankful spirit so please take a few moments to read them.

Christmas Offering – God is a Giver

Warm Christmas Greetings!

Isn't there just something beautiful about this time of year? For those of us who live in the colder areas, it may not be something so “heartwarming” to consider. Yet, without a doubt, there is just something beautiful about all the colorful lights and decorations!

The thing that makes it most exciting for me is that we will soon be celebrating the birth of our Lord and Savior. For me, at least, I believe Christmas is “the most wonderful time of the year”!
