Thought for the Day by Simon James-Morse
​(Minister Goldstone Church)

The Dawn of Hope
 
But Christ has rescued us from the curse pronounced by the law. When he was hung on the cross, he took upon himself the curse for our wrongdoing. For it is written in the Scriptures, “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a tree.”
(Galatians 3:13 NLT)

Trees must be one of God's most amazing creations; they give us so much. They give us oxygen to breathe, fruit to eat, shade to cool, wood to build, and so much more. But no tree bore such love as the one used for the cross of Jesus.
When we see Christmas trees, we usually notice the lights and ornaments. But this Christmas, may they remind us of so much more. May they remind us of the sacrifice Jesus made giving His life, as He was nailed to a tree – the cross. Jesus did not have His life not taken from Him; it was freely given because of His unconditional love for each one of us. (John 10:18)

For anyone who may be feeling unloved this Christmas, may every Christmas tree be a reminder of the Cross of Jesus Christ and the price He paid because of His love for us. May the lights remind us that the Light of the World came to show us the way back home to the Father. May the round ornaments on the tree remind us of His never-ending love for us. May the red decorations remind us of the blood of Jesus, poured out for us in payment for our sin. And may the green of the tree be a reminder of the new life offered by Jesus! (John 10:10; John 3:16-18)

This advent season, may the Christmas tree remind us that the Christ Child did not remain a baby but grew into the perfect sinless Son of God, dwelling in flesh and taking the wrath and punishment of God on our behalf, and surrendering His life. Then, by the power of the One True God, Jesus rose to life again so that we may find new life in Him!
The Cross was the first real Christmas tree... bearing God's Greatest Gift – Jesus!
 
Born thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a king;
Born to reign in us forever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring:
By thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By thine own sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne.

“Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus” by Charles Wesley
Simon


Christingle Services

Due to the change in government guidelines on Saturday we are having to ask all those that have booked for the Christingle services to rebook.  If you have booked a place (before Sunday) you will have received an email yesterday asking you to rebook.  Please look out for the email and follow the instructions. Any problems please contact the church office.
