Christmas 1: Christ as a boy growing in grace.

29/12/2024

This week we are given a glimpse of Jesus as a boy about the age of maturity with a grasp already of whose son he is. He had to go through the processes of growth and maturing as do we.  God uses process - where are we in His processes with us?

Christmas Day 2024 - Don't Miss the Wonder of Christmas

25/12/2024

0 Comments

 
Don't let the familiarity of Christmas rob you of its significance.  Here angels announced the birth of One they called the Saviour, the Christ and the Lord.  The shepherds went to see and were amazed - they came away praising God.  Mary pondered these things in her heart.  The birth of our Saviour, our King and God himself is a great wonder and joy.  We like the shepherds must be amazed and tell people and like Mary ponder these things in our hearts.
