In the tapestry of the Christian faith, the church emerges as a haven of second chances. No one is exempt from an imperfect past, but the resounding message of the Gospel is that our own personal history does not disqualify us from receiving God's abundant grace. Instead, it is through this grace that we find liberation from the weight of our past.

While as a culture we tend to over do the Christmas season with more lights, more parties, more extravagance and more food, the true beauty of the season is actually found in reducing it to it’s simple central message. That God loves us, and that His kingdom is one of humility, not extravagance.
