Family a Blessing From God

We are so happy to have each and everyone of you with us this morning on this glorious day. We have many people visiting for the first time today or some that are here visiting family for the holidays. This is a wonderful time of year. I love when the days get cooler and the sparkling of lights are hung all over houses and family is able to get together, whether it be for a couple of days or longer. We usually have about 15 or more running around our house during the christmas holiday. Now some may say that is just Crazy! Not at all. It is great waking up finding people everywhere. Looking for an open bathroom or just a place to sit and enjoy your coffee. This year we have gone to be with our Daughter, Son-in-law and granddaughter in Norfolk, VA. Knowing that we will miss worshiping with all our brethren in Woodbridge, but at the same time meeting new brethren at the Chesapeake church of Christ. This morning brother Niles Wedge will bring the sermon and brother Brian Kent will bring the evening sermon. It is definitely a blessing from God to have two families, our physical family and our church family.

Bobbie Girard / Alwilda Merritt / Neal Family
Colleen Wertz / Christine Liddell / Betty Perez
Tom White / Deb Neal / Endy Family

This morning I am sure that you walked into services seeing brethren smiling, laughing and full of enjoyment to worship their Father in Heaven and remember His Son Jesus Christ. I truly love Sundays because it is not only a time to Worship, but also a time that we get to spend together as a spiritual family. God in His great wisdom created the church so we could experience in a way what we will experience in Heaven. Just imagine the difficulty it had to be for our Father in Heaven when He sent His Son Jesus Christ to live among those that He had created. He let His family leave Him for 33 years, but not only leave but actually sent to us as a gift. Not a gift like you might receive on christmas morning that one unwraps and plays with for a little while and then discards, but a gift that will last for eternity.

The question is have you accepted that gift? God makes it very clear that if we will believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (John 20:31), Repent of the way we have lived our life in our sins (Acts 17:30, Confess His name (Matthew 10:32), and be baptized for the remission of our sins (Acts 2:38; Galatians 3:27). We then become a part of the family of God cherishing the gift that He gave to each of us. I hope and pray that each of us will always take the time to thank God not only for our physical family but also for our church family. Have a merry christmas.

Ernie
