Responses to Christmas Devotional

12 years ago, I wrote a series of Christmas devotional thoughts. For my church for 2023, I edited those and made a short, 6-day devotional booklet.

I am putting it here for your downloading pleasure.

It is a simple, fun yet still serious look at how some people responded to Christ’s birth 2000 years ago with some added application for today.

I pray you enjoy and are blessed by it.

Merry Christmas!

This Sunday at Church: Pray for churches to partner for the Great Commission

I can gratefully say that our church enjoys partnering with others. It started largely with the local youth groups teaming up, though there was some cooperation already happening. I have preached at several churches around the area, in other cities, and across state lines. Many of us have teamed up to send groups and missionaries out, with six of us having spent about the last two years preparing to send a family to a recently war-torn Land.

Please pray for continued unity in gospel partnership.

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for churches to partner for the Great Commission.

VerseD: John 13:35

“By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

John‬ ‭13:35‬, ‭ESV‬

God showed His love by becoming like us and dying for us. The absolute least we can do is love each other in the Church, lest we show we are not His disciples. Love with Jesus’ patient, gracious love.
