Can you believe that 2016 has come and
will soon be gone? As I wrap up two years as
your Pastor, I cannot express how grateful I
am for this opportunity in serving Christ and
you. As we draw this year to a close allow
me to challenge you in two areas.
This time of year my Facebook feed blows up with people
posting such things as, “He’s the Reason for the Season.” Let’s
Keep Christ in Christmas”, or “like and share if you are not
ashamed to say Merry Christmas.” We are the defenders of
Christmas and no politically correct campaign is going to keep us
from celebrating. However, it is amazing that those same
crusaders of Christmas begin to change their tune when it comes
to worshipping on Christmas. “Well, we have a tradition of family
time on Christmas morning and won’t be able to make it”, is one
recent comment I heard. Or there is this classic, “We will worship
at home with our family that day.” Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I
want to remind you that the most important family time to be
involved in this Christmas is corporate worship of our Savior. On
Sunday, December 25 at 10:15 a.m. I pray that the church is
packed as we gather to keep Christ in Christmas. I believe that it
will be an incredible day of worship and opportunity. Yes, our
schedule will be altered that day like everyone else's. Yet, that’s
what worship does, it alters us. When I came to Christ 20 years
ago, He altered my plans, He changed my desires. Let me appeal
to you this Christmas to make it the top priority of your day to be
in worship with your faith family. On top of that, invite people to
attend with you. Many are open to spiritual truths during this time
of year. They know that Christmas is about Christ, so what an
opportunity we have to invite an unchurched family to join us on
Christmas morning for worship.
Finally, as we approach the new year, I want to encourage you
to evaluate your walk with the Lord. How have you grown this
year? What spiritual victories have you experienced? What areas
have been the most difficult? With these questions comes the
challenge of responding to the Holy Spirit’s work in our heart. I
pray that 2017 will be a year of great growth in your life and mine.
I want to challenge all of us in reading God’s word in 2017.
Therefore, I will be placing a bible reading plan in the newsletter
each week to help assist you in that process. Secondly, I want to
ask you to be in service on Sunday, January 1 as I will present us
with a time of commitment for 2017. This is not a resolution to be
a better Christian but rather a call to commitment and surrender.
May God bless you and your family during these coming weeks
and I look forward to celebrating the birth of our Savior with you
on Sunday.
For His Glory,
Pastor Justin
