Sunday was all about sharing your Christmas Experience.  We called it Sharing the Window Seat.

If you’ve ever traveled by plane or train, you know what it is like to hold the ever-sacred window seat…it’s the best place to receive the full effect.  But if you’ve already had the pleasure, and you’re traveling with a novice who’s never sat in that seat before, you would gladly give it up for them.

That is an image of our Christian Christmas experience.  If you have received faith in Jesus, if you know the joy that Jesus brings, then this Christmas you should offer someone else a seat that displays the landscape of eternal life.  You may say that others around you know about Jesus, and there are plenty of churches that can help.  But, you are the best guide to help your friend see more clearly.  In fact Jesus has you in their lives for this reason.

When you get together with your friends and families, remember that not everyone around you has a clear view of Jesus.  You may also wonder if they have eternal life.  Share your experience of knowing Jesus with them.  This could be their first real Christmas knowing Jesus.

We want to share a beautiful Christmas Eve service with Kershaw.  I hope you’ll come and bring someone close to you.  You can find out more about us or pass along this website to others that may be interested at www.teamchurchkershaw.com/christmaseve.html

The Christmas Express is arriving at Kershaw this Sunday!  Inspired by the Polar Express, we’ll be talking about…

• Dec. 6 “Get On Board”
  Nowadays, it’s easy to miss the true meaning of Christmas, but when Jesus was born, all of heaven focused it’s attention on one thing, and one thing only.  This season, travel on the same track of the wise men who pushed all aside to worship Jesus.

• Dec. 13 “Enjoy the Ride”
  The wonderful sights, smells, and sounds of Christmas invite us to “feel” something during the Christmas season…anxiety? indulgence?  loneliness?  But, over 2000 years ago, angels hovered over a field of sheep and invited a few shepherds to also feel something too… Great Joy!

• Dec. 20 “Share the Window Seat”
  Christmas was always meant to be shared.  The angels proclaimed, “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.”  If you have faith, and hope and joy because of Jesus Christ, then don’t hog the Good News all the way to your final destination…Share it!

And finally, we’re going to have a wonderful community Christmas Eve service for Kershaw.  I hope you’ll begin inviting others to “get on board” with the true spirit of Christmas.

Take a look at our video promo for The Christmas Express, and pass it along to others…see you Sunday!
