Eight Ways to Share Christ this Christmas, by Pastor Charlie Handren

By Anonymous
  1. Share your testimony. While some people are turned off by direct evangelism, it’s hard to deny the power of a story!
  2. Start with apologies. If relationships have been damaged with family members or friends, take time to repair them. Show others that you’ve been given grace in Christ and that you live by grace. 
  3. Meet tangible needs. Offer to help with a tangible need as a way to demonstrate the gospel in action: help with a project, babysit kids, provide financial help, or pray for a need.
  4. Ask, listen, and share. Ask someone what Christmas means to them and listen no matter what they say. If the Lord opens an opportunity for you to share, too, then do so. 
  5. Invite someone over for dinner. Invite some family, friends, or neighbors over for a Christmas dinner and take a few minutes to talk about the true meaning of Christmas. 
  6. Share a Christmas-themed gospel tract. Include a gospel tract in someone’s present, especially if you’re mailing one or more to a family member or friend. 
  7. Share the Gospel of John. Take some time to reach out to your family, friends, and neighbors by personally handing them a Gospel of John and offering to read it along with them. 
  8. Invite someone to Christmas worship service. Invite your family, friends, or neighbors to come to a Christmas eve morning or evening service with you and use the experience as an opportunity to speak with them about the gospel.

God Displays His Beauty While Lifting Heavy Burdens by Pastor Kevin

By
I know I am a little bit overweight. My doctor tells me so. The mirror that I look into affirms it and the scale (that I mostly avoid) reminds me every time I step on it. All of that makes what I am about to say so much more impressive. I had the privilege of sitting on the beaches of Florida's Atlantic coast for 8 days on our most recent family trip. For me there is something magical about the beach, especially on the Atlantic side with the waves washing up against the shoreline. We have been lucky enough to find a sleepy beach town to vacation at. A nook, if you will, that typically features retired folks or families with kids. Out of the way of those who want to party, the beach is truly a relaxing place for me.  Let me tell you something that I gleaned this time around that never quite landed on me. This last week it landed on me, almost literally. My son Ben and I are the more adventurous specimens in the Feder five. We actually get into the salty water where there are jelly f...

We Will Feast in the House of Zion by Patience Griswold

By Anonymous
No one ever plans to have their lives upended. We know that the world is broken and bound in futility, we know that everything can change in an instant, and yet crises still have the ability to shake us to our core. None of us entered 2020 planning to experience a global pandemic this year, but here we are, practicing social distancing, wondering how the virus will affect us and our families, and wondering when we will be able to return to our regular rhythms and routines as what can feel a little like the world falling apart around us.  In the midst of social distancing, I miss my church family. I miss my Bible study, the kids in my Sunday school class, the ability to meet people for coffee, and I know that I am not alone in this. It is not wrong to grieve the temporary loss of these things. In fact, we ought to grieve, even as we seek to live joyfully and find satisfaction in Christ in the midst of difficult circumstances. If we feel no grief whatsoever over the loss of some...
