Timeless Truths for us today: 1. Read God’s Word- Luke 2:1-20 2. A Place of Prayer- Spend time singing and praising God for who He is 3. Life Application- Bring that worship to those around you. Invite someone to the Christmas Eve Service. Look for the opportunity to share Jesus with them.

If we are going to have a God-centered life we need peace. God tells us his name is Jehovah Shalom: The Lord our Peace. Why Did Israel Lack Peace? Judges 6:1 “Again the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and for seven years he gave them into the hands of the Midianites.” […]
