This Christmas, instead of focusing on the darkness, the pressures, and the ungodly things that break forth in our world, let’s decide to be the light! Let’s be intentional about going into our cities, neighborhoods, and communities with joy that Jesus Christ was born into this world!
How do we do that? Pastor Allen has a brief, timely challenge for us this Christmas:
Decide today to be a difference-maker in your community this season. Serve those in need. Share your God-story. Pause and pray—no matter where you are—for people’s struggles or needs. Let’s ease the pressures of this season with the love and presence of Christ in us.

Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
