Consider Jesus This Christmas

Christmas time began on Sunday, November 29, at RBBC—a time to consider Jesus together! Believer, I encourage you to stretch out your faith as you discover (or discover again) how amazingly great Jesus Christ is! He is God, the powerful, living Word of God and He is greater than the prophets of old. He is superior to the angels, the anointed Son of God. He is the Son of Man and far greater than Moses, and He is greater than the Old Testament priests, being the perfect High Priest. Also, He is the Glorious Mediator between God and mankind. He is supreme! Let us acclaim Him together as we gather this Christmas, and let us invite others to consider Him, too.

Invite men to Men’s Night Out on Dec. 5; bring friends and family to the Denver and the Mile High Orchestra Concert on Dec. 18; fill a pew with your circle of friends on Christmas Eve at Rocky; show the love of God in Christ by building bridges into the lives of others. And share the gospel of Jesus as you pray for opportunities to speak of Him.

“He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of His nature!” (Hebrews 1:3) Let us magnify Him and make Him known!

LOST PEOPLE ARE REALLY....LOST!

“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life. For did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.” (John 3:16-18)

Last week I met with a man, a dying man. He is nine years younger than I and totally disabled because of debilitating pain and severe medical conditions that will kill him, and probably soon. And He is lost, really lost! He has not yet believed in Jesus Christ for salvation and, therefore, he is condemned before God. Our church helped him with a utility bill (thank you, RBBC family, for your generous benevolence giving), but he is still living in darkness and lost. I keep thinking about him and praying for him and will call soon and try to get with him again because he needs Jesus. Will you pray that he will humbly repent and trust in Christ for his rescue? If you are praying, please let me know in the “comments” section, and share how I can pray for a lost one whom the Lord has burdened you for.
