Celebrating Our Savior’s Birth

Dear Family of God,

Greetings this Advent season!

Advent is a Latin word which denotes the coming or arrival of Christ the Messiah.

As many of you know, I am not fond of Christmas, trees, lights, wreaths and such.
However, I am amazed at the birth of Jesus Christ our Savior.

This season of preparation, or to make room in our hearts for Christ, is so wonderful.

No wonder at all that we feel led to give and bless others during this season…
For God so loved He gave His only begotten Son.

The miracle of the Incarnation, God becoming man, is the crux of our Christian faith.
All we stand on is based on a virgin with child!

The cost, the sacrifice, that Mary and Joseph paid is a reminder of our Father’s great
sacrifice. Think of it, God gave up His only Son to save us from our sins.

For there is born to you this day in the city of David,

 A SAVIOR

who is Christ the Lord!


Our Savior has come first as a babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, now as our King
in our hearts!

May the wonder, majesty, joy and peace of our Savior’s birth fill you this season as
you celebrate His kingly reign.

Christ is Born — Hallelujah!

Merry Christmas,

Pastor Ken
