God is a giver.  It is His nature to give.  And as followers of Jesus we should be givers as well.  God gave the ultimate gift when He gave His Son to be the ransom for our sins and life.  Jesus didn't lay His life down begrudgingly but laid it down willingly because of His love for mankind.  Salvation is the perfect and most amazing Gift He could ever gift us.  Why?  Because everything else that He gives hinges on salvation.  Without salvation what are the gifts of the Spirit?  Without salvation what are the blessings that He gives?  The gift of salvation is the gift of Christmas!

We live in a world of tension to say the least.  However, haven't we been living in a world of tension since the beginning of time?  Yes, good and evil.  Cain and Able.  Roman and the rest of the world.  Old ways versus new technology.  You get the picture.  Today is no different.  But it is for followers of Jesus Christ.  We live with hope in the midst of tension.  Actually we can live with joy, peace, love, and patience in a world that has lost it's mind.  We can bring all that and more to the world around us as we submit our lives to the only one who can empower us to live above it all, Jesus.

Thanksgiving is not a holiday we celebrate but a lifestyle we live because Jesus has changed our life.  Jesus has given us a new perspective, a new understanding, a new mind, a new spirit, and a new heart.  We have been changed from the inside out.  Our focus has changed.  We now can see what He sees and how He sees.  When we focus on what God focuses on there is power in that.  That power is Thanksgiving.

Jesus is the good shepherd.  Not just any shepherd but "the good" shepherd.  The one and only true and good shepherd.  You get it.  He is good.  If that is so and we truly believe He is good.  Then why do we worry, fret, get anxious, fearful, the list could go on for a while.  Many followers of Jesus believe that Jesus "can" but they don't truly believe that He "will".  Remember Jesus has our best interest at heart so we don't have to.  Meaning we can fully and completely trust that Jesus is going to take care of us.  The 23rd Psalm is one of the most famous passages of scripture in the world.  Probably one of the most quoted scriptures as well.  But it more than a literary piece but it's truth. Gut level, in your face, truth.  Pastor Allen breaks down this Psalm to make it more real and applicable to our everyday lives.

Life can get hard sometimes.  It's difficult, confusing, lonely, sad, you could just insert adjective here and that would suffice.  However, we as followers of Jesus Christ look at like differently and approach it from a completely unique perspective.  When we see life the way Jesus sees it then we have a reason to shout, a reason to sing, a reason to praise the Lord.  Men's Pastor Ryan "Remo" Moreaux shares with us why we should praise the Lord in the midst of confusion and chaos.

Satan is the master of disguise.  He works best incognito, undercover, or behind a mask.  He wants to steal, kill, and destroy without people knowing that he is doing it.  We as Christians, followers of Jesus, must see him for who he really is so we can then expose him and his evil works for who and what they really are.  In order for us to get to that place we have to have a relationship with Jesus that opens our eyes of understanding both mentally and spiritually.  We are no match for Satan but Jesus is.  As a matter of fact Jesus has already defeated Him and we now have power over Satan and his minion through our relationship with the Father through Jesus.  We can live lives of victory and overcoming because of what Jesus has already done.
