Warmest Christmas Greetings from COTR!

Well, it is hard to believe that it is only a few days away. When we think about what Jesus did, it is amazing. The Son of God coming into the earth through such humble circumstances. The Son of God… born in a stable! Jesus did not need surface things to develop His authority among men. He would do that through the life He lived and the power and love it would demonstrate. Remember this Christmas that this is where it all started, Christmas Day.

We must recognize in those moments we must not go back to the past, and we must not linger endlessly where we are. We must make an effort to go forward into the future! It all starts with faith. It is the substance of what we are hoping for and the evidence of what is not yet seen. It is what allows God to go forth and shape our future long before we do or see anything in the natural realm. Since your faith shapes your future then be aware of what is shaping your faith! We listed 4 simple things Sunday that do this:
