How to Put Christ Back in Christmas

A few people pointed out to me this week that I didn’t write a blog post last Sunday. Well I did but it’s been sitting on my desktop all week… which really isn’t a great place for it haha! So I’m writing one big post about the past two weeks instead!

Lately we’ve had a lot of discussion within the church about the Christmas season and what it means for Christians. For this reason Ps Simon has started a sermon series titled ‘How to Put Christ Back in Christmas’! I for one think these messages will be very important for everyone to hear as we try to muddle our way through the festive season in a way that is Godly and shows Christ to all of those around us.

We’ve started from the beginning in Mathew from where Mary finds out she is going to have a son who is Jesus. We need to remember something very important here, God’s time is supernatural. God chose this time for Mary and He chose the time of the birth and where. I think we can put that into our everyday life because sometimes we think God needs to work in worldly time rather than His perfect time.

At this time of year it’s also important to remember that God is always working within you, as He was with Mary when He put Jesus within her. Don’t lose your hope this Christmas because it’s too commercial or Santa isn’t real. Just remember that God can work through all things and that He wants you to share His love and hope this Christmas. After all, it’s a great time of year to talk to people about why we celebrate the birth of Jesus.

I’d also like to give glory to our God because last Sunday we were back in the Girl Guides hut for church with lovely new bathrooms! We've also now got a sound desk up the back for Jeffrey to live at! We are very blessed to have such a great facility to use each week and we’d love for you to come along and celebrate our God with us. Every Sunday 10am!
