Merry Christmas! What a wonderful time of the year to enjoy our family and friends with fun, presents, laughter and great food. These are all gratifying, but I want to encourage you to remember the perfect gift given to us by our Father. In the hustle and bustle of the season slow down and reflect on the priceless and everlasting Christmas gift of Jesus Christ. He was born to die on the cross to pay for our redemption and this great salvation has made a way for us to be a part of His family. What a gift God has blessed us with to become His sons and daughters.

Have you ever had the thought “what can I give my Father?” Phil 2:6 – 8 NLT Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. 7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, 8 he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross. Jesus set aside His position in heaven to become a slave so you and I, who were once slaves to sin, could have a position in heaven. He told His leaders how to be leaders in His kingdom. He said to be greatest you must become a servant just as Jesus did.

1 John 4:17 declares as He is so are we in this world. As His people you and I are called to be His representatives in the earth. We are to bless, to heal, and to love people into the kingdom of God. What better gift can we give to our families and friends than to be their servants, to love and bless them and let them see Jesus in our every word and action? What better present can we give to our heavenly Father than to be His accurate representative revealing Him as loving, giving, kind and merciful? This is the true heart of Christmas and this year I believe it will be seen in you.

Loving God, Loving People & Serving the World,

Pastor Bob

Haiti Disaster Relief

Church of the Harvest families have the opportunity and responsibility to show the love of God to the nation of Haiti and it’s hurting people. The earthquake of Haiti is reportedly the worst natural disaster in the Western Hemisphere in over 200 years. While the devastation is still unfolding, it is time to show the love of Christ in the midst of their time of need.

We are partnering with Church of the Harvest in Oklahoma City as well as Joyce Meyer Ministries to send medical teams, supplies and other support.

We firstly ask everyone to please stand in prayer daily for the volatile situation as well as the desperate needs of Haiti. Secondly, please pray and seek God as to whether you should give financial to the relief efforts. If you feel led to make a monetary donation please click here. Thirdly, there are many supplies that can be donated from hygiene to clothing, vitamins to medical. Please click here for a list of urgent needs as well as donation instructions.

Together we can make a difference!
