To those of us who have placed our trust in Christ, every dawn is Christmas morning. All that He is and offers us is packaged and waiting for us to unwrap and claim as our own. So go ahead; thank God, then open your gift. It’s everything you need for today plus a tad more.

The Depths of God’s Love
The depth of His love knows no bounds. It reached all the way down to our broken world in the form of a child. It stretched into the darkness and silence of the tomb. It mounts up into heaven where God is preparing a place for us.
Heaven Came Down
Jesus, the greatest hope for humanity, entering our world in the quiet of a Bethlehem night and laid in a manger because He loved us too much to let us perish.
Come Thou Long Expected Jesus
1. Come, thou long expected Jesus,born to set thy people free;from our fears and sins release us,let us find our rest in thee.Israel’s strength and consolation,hope of all the earth thou art;dear desire of every nation,joy of every longing heart. 2. Born thy people to deliver,born a child and yet a King,born to reign in …
The Shepherds in Your Manger Scene
If we really believed that we are like sheep, under the care of the loving Good Shepherd we’ve heard about in Psalm 23, yes, we’d still have our problems – but we wouldn’t feel so unsettled, would we? Maybe peace on earth could be ours.
Prince of Peace
Jesus came to fulfill a far greater plan: He came to destroy sin, hatred, and discord, to tear down the walls of separation between man and God and restore fellowship with Him. Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the One who rules over the universe and the only One powerful enough to defeat the prince of darkness.
Christmas Bells

Till ringing, singing on its way,The world revolved from night to …
Immanuel, God With Us
We need a God who stays right beside us through the good and the bad, in every blessing and every heartache, through every season and in every second of the day, through every valley and on every mountaintop. We need a God who fights for us, who displays His strength when we’re in the midst of a battle. We need a God who isn’t stingy but One who pours out His mercies and His grace upon us every morning, who piles good things into our laps, and advocates for us before the throne of God. Most of all, we need a God who forgives our sins, wipes the slate clean, restores our fellowship with Him, and offers us eternal life.
A Geneology of Grace
There is nothing in our past that is too dark for God’s forgiveness and grace.
I’m Spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this Year
I see the countless Christmas trees,Around the world below.With tiny lights, like heaven’s stars,Reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular,Please wipe away that tear.For I’m spending Christmas,With Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs,That people hold so dear.But the sounds of music can’t compare,With the Christmas choir up here. For …
