First15

Christmas is a time where we as believers celebrate God’s heart to write himself into our story. Prior to Jesus we had no real picture of God’s love. All we had to know him by was through stories of old and commandments written into law. But only in Jesus was a pathway created whereby we could walk in intimacy with the Father again. Only in Jesus was the veil torn allowing God’s manifest presence into the earth. We owe all that we have to Jesus. We owe all that we have to Christmas. So across the next two days we’ll celebrate the joyful reality of Christmas. May this time together help us center our celebrations around the goodness of Emmanuel, God with us. Our Scripture for today comes from John 6:51, and today's worship is Noel by Chris Tomlin featuring Lauren Daigle -- Thanks for listening to the First15 podcast. The end of the year is fast approaching, so I wanted to reach out with a quick reminder about the $572,431 year-end goal. Reaching this goal by midnight Friday will ensure we end the year stro
