Cheek's Challenge
After Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of King Herod, wise men from the east arrived unexpectedly in Jerusalem,    saying, “Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.”
Matthew 2: 1-2 HSCB

The heart of Christmas is worship!
The wise men were seeking to worship this newborn King!
I pray that you will take every advantage you have to worship  and to share a “good word” with someone who needs to know Jesus this Christmas season!

 Cathy and I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas! Just remember, “ When you follow a star you find a stable.”

If Christmas is about anything, it’s about a baby….God’s baby, born in a stable, who changed the world forever. When we come to the stables in our lives, let us be wise and remember to look for God. Let us bring Him the best we have to offer.
And let us allow Him to change the direction of our lives, enabling us to become the great men and women of God that He wants us to be. 2020 holds a lot of promise and hope for Kingdom growth! Let’s move in the direction with faith as we worship!
