It is so good to be back once again. God, as always, is moving here at Crossroads World Christian Center Church! What a wonderful time we have in serving Him. We would love for you guys to join us every Sunday evening at 7:30p.m. here at 650 Harrisburg Pike at the new Crossroads Community Services building.

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy and blessed New Year. I encourage you to pass on the free gift of love that Jesus Christ fills our Christian hearts with and to share the blessings He's bestowed on you this season with others, both in Word and in deed.

In that awesome spirit of having received the ultimate gift in the promised child of Jesus, we'd like to introduce you to some holiday initiatives and ministries we've got going here at the new building, that with God's continued grace, will help us pass on Christ's love by making it a good Christmas for families in need...

A Word from the Pastor

The word this month comes from a dear friend of mine and a member of Crossroads World Christian Center Church. She is the Director of Ministry Development here and Founder of the Divine Daughters of Destiny youth enrichment group. Please enjoy Lynn Hunter's "Jesus is the Reason for the Season" below.
 

"Jesus is the Reason for the Season"
by Lynn Hunter

As the end of 2009 quickly approaches and the holiday season nears, let us not forget, "Jesus is the reason for the season."  It is great joy to put up decorative Christmas trees and arrange beautiful lights and other festive decoration. But we must remember the heart of Jesus who died on Calvary for your sins and mine.  During this time of giving, and as we make sacrifices to purchase gifts for family and friends, let us remember, "Jesus is the reason for the season" and the sacrifice that was made.

The Word of God says in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."   Isn't that a great sacrifice that God loves us soooo much that he gave His only Son?

As we hustle and bustle, let us not be selfish, but be mindful, about how we can give a sacrificial gift to Jesus. Remember, "Jesus is the reason for the season."  This Christmas celebration is about Him. If you have not given your life to Christ, pray and seek Him, for He is good, better that any earthly gift we could ever receive.  

Give Jesus His gift today….You!!!!  Salvation is free.
