December Sermon Themes

It's a Wonderful Life!

If we were to determine the worth of our life based only upon how we feel today, or the challenges of each day, we would conclude that some days life is good, and others, not so much. But when we base the worth of our life upon the joy we have been offered by God – a joy that exists through all days no matter what the challenges – we will find that it really is a wonderful life! This life is the gift God wants us all to have. This life comes through the Babe born in Bethlehem – Jesus!
