What Are You Giving For Christmas? In Pastor Candace Brown’s most recent sermon, she presents how if all we are consumed by is what we can receive from God, we will miss out on what God wants to do in and through us. God gave His only Son so that we could have eternal life, therefore we should give our time, treasure and full obedience to Christ. Out of this obedience, we are able to give by blessing others in times of need. This Christmas, we must acknowledge what we are giving, rather than what we are receiving.
