Saving Christmas

The world is a mess, full of suffering, sin, and shame. Yet out of this world — a world that God loves — was born a saviour.

Is this the end? Is there a storm brewing? Should we just go shopping?

Perseverance in suffering, and peace in anxiety is made possible by rejoicing in the Lord.

Are you someone you would follow?

Our lives will reflect with joy that which Christ works within us.

Our life, our being, our very self is wrapped up in Christ.

Our experience of joy as believers comes from our unity with Christ, rather than anything the world has to offer us.

Church is back!

Our journey to advance the gospel in the present, will bring us great joy through the good work of Christ in us.
