Today
During Christmas time, we hear the “war on Christmas” prominently take up space in our media and talking circles, focusing more on the symbols and artifacts of Christmas than the person we are celebrating. This is a pause for reflection by Christians themselves, as we reinforce this incorrect focus on “things” rather than on Jesus. In this Christmas message, Pastor Jay shares a message celebrating Christmas with a fresh look at the passage leading up to the famous John 3:16 verse.
