The world is a cold dark and dead place! I know that sounds morbid, but it is true. C.S Lewis paints this picture in his book, "The Lion the Witch and The Wardrobe" he writes, "it was all winter and no Christmas." This is a reality, a cold world without hope, but praise God for the Lion from the tribe of Judah has overcome! The Lamb that was slain is now our risen king! He was clothed in swaddling cloth only to be wrapped in burial cloth, He was born in a borrowed stable, to be buried in a borrowed tomb, the incarnation was the beginning of the crucifixion! Today we are focusing all our attention of This Lamb, The Promised Lamb, The Prophesied Lamb, The Perfect Lamb who came into the world to make our cold world of sin a means of Salvation. He is calling you today to come in from the cold and be revived, restored and redeemed, are you going to answer His call?

This might be bizarre but stay with me, Christmas is not worth celebrating, if we are not in the same passion looking forward to Christ's Second coming. Jesus promised He will come and make His home with us and because He did, we have Christmas, He came home for Christmas, and He is coming again, this time not as a baby humble in a manger, but as a King to take ownership of His.

Are you His? He came home for Christmas, are you going to be in His home for all the Christmas to come? This message is for those who are troubled, what you need is a promise you can hold on to, that is what is coming your way. It is time to come home this Christmas, back to His Word, His Heart, back to His Promises.

What are you dreaming of this Christmas? Most believers are not worldly, and we know the reason for this season, are you one of these believers? Praise The Lord!

Simeon was a believer just like you who was dreaming of a White Christmas, the promised Messiah who would come and make us white as snow. He was dreaming and hoping in this promise of God, and this beautiful dream and promise was revealed in Jesus as Simeon held The Christ Child in his arms. Today He is not a Child, but the Christ who is knocking on the door of our hearts, to make all of His promises a reality. What are you dreaming of this Christmas? Are you holding on to Christ The Savior? I'm dreaming of a Christmas where the reality of our sins being washed clean shines brighter than snow.

Stay tuned, this reality is coming your way.

What about Christmas makes you merry? Every year we hear a Christmas message, and songs, but are we just trying to manufacture an emotion or trying to force a positive mindset to get through this season? I am determined for us to have the Merriest Christmas this year, not because we are looking forward to a lottery ticket or a loved one coming back, but because of a reality that changes me from having to muddle through the season to having a hope fueled life. Ready for the best Christmas of your life? Stay right here, your word is on it's way.

This morning is a morning unlike any other, this is a morning God is calling you to a covenant commitment. The time is now, the invitation is yours and the promise is sure. To not chose is still making a decision. This is not just a gospel call, but a call to authentic walk, authentic freedom, a call to see the brokenness that God has set you free from and not go back to the familiar idols, this is a choice that changes destiny. I also have to warn you, this is not a message for those that want to play holy, play victim, play games with God, this is a message for those who are broken and need a call to action into victory. Stay tuned if this is you, your word is on it's way.

Satan's fall stemmed from pride that envied God's glory and greatness. Are you letting the enemy steal God's glory in your life by allowing other's envy erode your hope? Too many believers fail to recognize that we are not called to coddle envy and pride, not only are we to remove it from our lives, we also need to protect ourselves from those who are fueled with envy. Can you spot them in your life? If you are under attack, you will find envy lurking around. Today we unveil the blindness of envy and reveal the attack of envy. This is a message to set the captive free! He who has ears, let him hear!

Most people are not aware of the envy in their lives, let alone the effects of it. But they most certainly feel the outcome of their envy but will credit it to other factors that only give birth to.. you guessed it, more envy. You might be bleeding in areas that you aren't aware of, the book of Proverbs is more than ancient or divine wisdom, it is a mirror for our minds, heart, and ultimately our souls. Today in chapter 23 of Proverbs we embark on a journey that points us towards the effects of envy. If you are experiencing hopelessness, there is a possibility that there is envy lurking in the shadows. Get your bible, get a notepad, and get ready for The Holy Spirit to begin His surgery on your soul.
