Stop:  Take a deep breath – whisper – Anything is possible with God.

Read Colossians 1:21-23

And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him— 23 provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, became a servant of this gospel.

God made the whole world, including people like you and me. We are made in God’s image! From the beginning God had a special plan for people, but over and over again, people decided to do what they want wanted to do instead of following God’s best for their life. This separated us from God, but God still chose to love us. Jesus came to show us just how much God loves us. We celebrate Jesus’

birth in a big way because Jesus came to save us!

The good news of Jesus isn’t just for you and me. It’s for everyone! Because of Jesus, everyone who believes can be with God forever. Isn’t that amazing? Only God could do that! Because anything is possible with God.

An Invitation

Can you think of a friend who needs to know that God loves them? Sit down with your family and talk about who you could invite to church with you this Christmas season. Create a special invite

and make a plan to attend church together.

Dear God, we know that anything is possible with You. Please help us to love, help, and forgive people the way You would—even if it feels impossible. We love You, and we pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.
