“In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph. The virgin’s name was Mary. ‘Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.” Mary was greatly troubled at his words. “ Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God.
You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High.” “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?” “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.” Luke 1: 26-32, 34-35
Beautiful Christmas Story – Part one
About a week before Christmas the family bought a new nativity scene. When they unpacked it they found 2 figures of the Baby Jesus. “Someone must have packed this wrong,” the mother said, counting out the figures. “We have one Joseph, one Mary, three wisemen, three shepherds, two lambs, a donkey, a cow, an angel and two babies. Oh dear! I suppose some set down at the store is missing a Baby Jesus because we have two.”
“You two run back down to the store and tell the manager that we have an extra Jesus. Tell him to put a sign on the remaining boxes saying that if a set is missing a Baby Jesus, call 7126.” Put on your warm coats, it’s freezing cold out there.”
The manager of the store copied down mother’s message and the next time they were in the store they saw the cardboard sign that read, “If you’re missing Baby Jesus, call 7126,” All week long they waited for someone to call. Surely, they thought, someone was missing that important figurine. Each time the phone rang mother would say, “I’ll be that’s about Jesus.” But it never was. Father tried to explain there were thousands of these scattered over the country and the figurine could be missing from a set in Florida or Texas or California. Those packing mistakes happen all the time. He suggested just put the extra Jesus back in the box and forget about it.
“Put Baby Jesus back in the box! What a terrible thing to do,” said the children. “Surely someone will call,” mother said. “We’ll just keep the two of them together in the manger until someone calls.” When no call had come by 5:00 on Christmas Eve, mother insisted that father “just run down to the store” to see if there
were any sets left. “You can see them right through the window, over on the counter,” she said. “If they are all gone, I’ll know someone is bound to call tonight.” Part two next week. What did father do?

Philippians 4:19
“And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
When storms come your way, just remember you know the Master of the wind,
When sickness finds you, remind yourself you know the Great Physician,
When your heart gets broken, just say I know the Potter.
It doesn’t matter what we face or go through.
Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life.
He is everything we need. Amen
BOOK NOOK Shared by Wendell Davis
“In the Spirit and Power”
By Pastor Pavel Goia with Kelly Mowrer Summary of Chapter Six
God promises that if we allow Him to be our God and have no other gods, then HE will change our hearts. We cannot do it.
Yet so often, we try to monitor ourselves. This is just what Satan wants. He knows if we keep our eyes on self, we will become discouraged.
And a fully discouraged Christian is a fully useless Christian.
But God says to keep our eyes of Jesus, the Captain of our salvation.
Growth is a process. From being a spiritual baby into the fullness of Christ – it takes a lifetime.
Change happens through faith. By faith, we trust in God and allow Him to work. By faith, we believe and are transformed by His Spirit in us.
He says, “I am going to give you a new heart. I am going to give you a country that is not yours.
I am going to give you gardens you never planted.
I am going to give you homes that you never built. I am going to give you victory.
I will do it all for you.”
PRAISE FROM THE WORD
“Sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth. Sing to the Lord, praise His name; proclaim his salvation day after day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all peoples. For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; he is to be feared above all gods. Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and glory are in his sanctuary.” Psalm 96: 1-4, 6
“The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice.” Psalm 97: 1
