Pastor Tim teaches us about Holiday Festivities and reminds us that Christmas is a religious commemoration meant to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. He explains how God established festivals in the Old Testament as times for His people to gather, reflect, worship, and be spiritually recharged together. We learn that the holidays are opportunities to spur one another on in faith, reach out to those who are alone, and keep Jesus as the central focus rather than getting lost in the busyness of the season. Pastor Tim encourages us to make rest a priority during this time while maintaining healthy fellowship and remembering God’s abundant life for us. Let us step into this Christmas season with intentionality—inviting Jesus to be our priority, opening our homes to those who are alone, and celebrating together the extraordinary gift of Christ’s birth.
