The Promise of a King

Promises. They can hold such power. They have the power to uplift and they have the power to dash dreams. To be uplifting, it is necessary for the person making the promise to keep that promise. To be the dasher of dreams, all one has to do is NOT do what he or she promised. A broken promise can do more than dash dreams away. It can damage a friendship, a relationship with a co-worker, family members......and the list can go on endlessly.

We, as Christians, have a promise that exceeds all others. We have the promise of our Savior that He will indeed come again. And if we only believe in Him, we will have everlasting life. What a promise! We must try and be like Christ when we make promises to other people. Jesus wouldn't forsake us by breaking His promise and we need to strive to be promise keepers.

Speaking of promises, the Chancel Choir (adult choir) will be performing "The Promise of a King" Sunday night, Dec. 17th. The service will begin at 6pm. Remember to bring someone with you and share the joy of Jesus' birth. The music will certainly stir your soul and put the feeling of Christmas in your heart.

I also wanted to remind the men of Men's breakfast this Sunday morning at 8am. If you know of a gentleman that you would like to share the love of Christ with, encourage him to join you on Sunday morning.

The children will be heading to Riverbanks Zoo next Thursday (Dec. 21st). This outing is for children grades 1-6. The group will leave the church at 6pm and will arrive back at the church around 9:30pm. You will need money for food and $5.00 for zoo admission. Invite a friend to join you in seeing the "Lights before Christmas".

I hope to see you on Sunday morning and evening. Until next time, take care and God bless!

Love in Christ,

Tina :-)
