Be Encouraged, Pastor! - December 21, 2025
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.”
2 Corinthians 5:17-18 NIV
We are new creations in Christ. He has reconciled us to Himself. Now this is the Good News that we proclaim this Christmas season as well as all the time! Merry Christmas!

“Peace on earth, good will to men.”
On this Sunday before Christmas, when we see that verse, we think of the product many times and not the person. Fixing the world. It means that everything is made OK. That’s the context most have when they think of peace on earth! However, the person of peace, Jesus Christ, was the peace on earth.
In Mark 4:39 the person of peace commanded peace to overcome circumstances, “peace, be still,” and in Luke 4:35 the person of peace commanded, “hold your peace!” Peace silenced the commotion and chaos.
I think maybe all of us need the person of peace to be in charge of our circumstances in the chaos this Christmas!
May we be centered this Christmas in the person of peace, and not simply wish for the circumstances of peace!
