This week's "Reflection" by Jeff Taylor, Pastor of Teaching/YouthThis weekend we talked about brushing off the bling during this Christmas season. Though there may be some physical actions associated with brushing off the bling, it is primarily a heart attitude that we need to check.
In looking at the simplicity of the Christmas story and the way that Jesus came,
- What are some ways that you keep your heart in check so that the pursuit of the bling does not blind you from the true meaning of Christmas, and you are not weighed down by the cultural pressure of having to provide it?
- What are some ways that we can participate in the cultural traditions of Christmas (presents, decorations, etc...), and still communicate the true meaning of our celebration to the people around us?
- How can the joy that Jesus birth brought to the world be restored in all the busyness and pressure of the season?
God bless you this Christmas season as we celebrate the greatest gift that has ever been given.
