Jesus, What a Wonderful Child

Jesus defeated all of His enemies by suffering for them rather than making them suffer!  Now there is a revolutionary idea!

Matthew 5:43-48

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 that you may be children of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47 And if you greet only your own people, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that?48 Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Jesus' birthday. It is a perfect time for getting to know the son of God on a deeper level. Getting to know the one who can "set you free!"

Come join us this Sunday as we continue our journey to Bethlehem. We are getting closer to the stable.
There, in the midst of all the craziness of this world, we will find peace. Join us at 5:00 this Sunday for dinner, and then a wonderful Christmas service. The PCF singers have been working on some wonderful music and Brad Joiner and his elves are planning a wonderful meal. I hope you will load up your car with friends and join us.

See you this Sunday at 5:00pm at the Crystal Garden, 1230 University Drive, Edwardsville.

Love, pastor, kent
