Offering

Christmas?
Although we Christians proclaim Christ as the centre of it all
have we allowed the festivity to creep into 1st place?
I think it's important for us to constantly check our hearts,
and we can begin by evaluating our actions,
for more often that not, they reflect the desires of our hearts

As what Pastor Raymond shared yesterday, it's a really important question to ask, which many of us, including myself, tend to neglect asking

what gifts are we bringing to Jesus this Christmas?

Be specific
God was specific when he sent Jesus

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.


Are we more concerned with the gifts for one another?
of course, we want to express our thanks to the people dear to us this Christmas,

but have we said thank You to our Father in Heaven for giving us Jesus?

Let's take time to reflect on the greatest gift of all - our Salvation through Christ
Then shall we be able to respond in a manner that glorifies our Father



OFFERING
Over the skies of Bethlehem appeared a star
While angels sang to lowly shepherds
Three wise men seeking truth traveled from afar
Hoping to find the child from heaven
Falling on their knees
They bowed before the humble
Prince of Peace

CHORUS:
I bring an offering of worship to my King
No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing
Jesus may You receive the honor that You're due
O Lord I bring an offering to You
I bring an offering to You

VERSE:
The sun cannot compare to the glory of Your love
There is no shadow in Your Presence
No mortal man would dare to stand before Your throne
Before the Holy One of heaven
It's only by Your Blood
and it's only through your mercy
Lord I come
