Step up and serve the Lord humbly. We must admit to being servants, and submit to being servants. Exodus 4:1-15

Step up and serve the Lord happily. We serve the Lord happily because of our great love for Him and because of His great love for us.

We need to give the total forgiveness of God that seeks to remember no more, seeks revenge no more, and seeks to restore much more. Colossians 3:12-15

Let's show more love through our words, our works, and our will. 1 Corinthians 13:1-13

We must passionately pursue the presence of God to a closer, more intimate relationship. We need a wholly desire and a holy fire from God. John 17:3 "Now this is eternal life, that they may know you, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent."

In great pursuit of our greatest love, we must keep pressing in and through to the presence of God. John 17:3 "Now this is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom You have sent."

Fasting can help us focus on our need for God. We need to see fasting as a normal way for Christians and the church to get closer to Christ.

To get closer to the Savior, we need to get farther from sin, through confession, repentance, and submission. James 4:6-12.

Amidst our human propensity to make resolutions, let us remember that all people are made in the image of God and that Jesus died for everyone. Receiving Him is our choice, but His love for each person is real.

Journey back to that first Christmas and hear from a "special guest" who was there. This dramatized message will help to make the Christmas story come alive for all ages including those not usually into the "church" scene.
