Meet Baby Jesus

To us a Child is born. To us a Son is given!

Isaiah 9:6

In Meet Baby Jesus 4-Week Preschool Ministry Curriculum, preschoolers will learn about all the people who got to be a part of the Christmas story.


NOTE: The Children’s Christmas Party will be on Sunday, December 12, during regular service times.

“Christmas Cookies” — The Sweetest Christmas Ever!

Making Christmas cookies is a sweet labor of love.

For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given!”

Isaiah 9:6

These sweet treats require the finest ingredients, shaped just right, baked properly, and iced to perfection – but they are worth the effort.

Christmas Cookies 4-Week Children’s Ministry Curriculum teaches kids that God moved heaven and earth to give us a Savior.

He brought everything together perfectly with the birth of Jesus – the sweetest gift God could ever give us.

Second Sunday after Christmas

If we want to be more like Jesus, we need to act more like Jesus.

One of the primary things that Jesus did was to be in His Father’s House (i.e., “in church”) and in The Word (i.e., “the Bible”). If we are to grow “in wisdom and stature” and in our love of the Lord and in deeds that please Him, we need to do the same by seeking His Word and His presence.

May we commit to that this 2021 and beyond!

I must be in My Father’s House.

Luke 2:49c

First Sunday after Christmas

The coming, life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus completed and pulled together all of History! His coming reminds us that God fulfills His promises and, more specifically, fulfilled His promise of One who would be “His salvation,” “a Light to the Gentiles,” and the “glory of His people, Israel!” He is the One! He completes us and all that we need! Praise the Lord!

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

Galatians 4:4-5

“Thank You” from the Pregnancy Resource Center

We at Sealy Pregnancy Resource Center want to take this opportunity to thank you. Our moms were very happy to receive the gifts at our annual Children’s Christmas Party.  It has meant a lot.  Because of you 84 children will wake up to presents under the tree this year. For some, these will be the only gifts these children will receive on Christmas Day. 

The mothers were elated at the unexpected beautiful stockings and Christmas hams. The backpacks kept the kiddo’s busy and their focus away from Santa’s delivery bags. Of course, Santa was a great hit!

Special thanks to David and Shannon Walker for coordinating and putting together the Angel Tree and the mother’s stockings

Thank you again for your generous and kind gifts and Merry Christmas,
Sealy Pregnancy Resource Center

“TO US & FOR US: The Savior Jesus” An Advent Sermon Series

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Isaiah 9:6

This passage from the prophet Isaiah tells us that God is going to send Someone who would rule, save, and be everything we need.

This, of course, was fulfilled in the Person of Jesus – God’s Son.

As we prepare for His coming during this Advent season, we are going to take a look at four specific ways that Jesus would fulfill this: as a Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace!

These are wonderful descriptions of both who Jesus is and what He came to do!

Below highlights more specifics of the weekly themes and what we will cover.

I hope you’ll join us as we prepare for this Savior, Jesus, who came to and and for us!

God bless your preparation!


WONDERFUL COUNSELOR:
God With Us When We’re Down

November 29

Jesus’ incarnation means that we have a God Who not only knows what we’re going through because He made us and knows everything, but also because He became like us in the flesh! So when we are down or going through a difficult time, we can go to Him and know He not only knows what we’re going through, but can empathize with us and do something about it! And His counsel is always best, right, loving, and caring! What an awesome God we have with us in Jesus!

  • Isaiah 40:1-11
  • Romans 8:26-27
  • Hebrews 4:15-16

MIGHTY GOD:
God With Us in Our Weakness

December 6

One of the many things this pandemic has taught us is just how powerless we are! We seem to be dragged into situations and predicaments we feel helpless to change. Working and schooling from home, or mandates of what will or will not be open (and the loss of livelihood that may follow!), and other things can make us feel, well, weak. But we have a God who is mighty and nothing that is or can happen is too big for Him! His is over all of this and, because He loves and cares for us, we know that His power is exercised in a way that will work out for our good! That’s His mighty promise – and He always keeps His Word! The Incarnation is proof of that! So rise up, mighty child of God! Your Savior has come!

  • Psalm 89:1-29
  • Jeremiah 23:5-8

EVERLASTING FATHER:
God With Us Beyond Temporary Hardships

December 13

Our lives are temporary. By extension, so are all our hardships and troubles. Every difficulty we are going through will end! We often forget that. We also forget that, through Jesus, we have an eternity to look forward to where there will be no crying or hardships or pain. Those will have passed away forever! When we backup and look at our current challenges through that lens, it is a lot easier to endure them and see them for what they are – a very small, very temporary setback that will be forgotten!

  • John 8:58
  • Romans 8:18
  • Revelation 21:1-6

PRINCE OF PEACE:
God With Us Through the Chaos

December 20

“Peace” seems pretty fleeting in our current world, country, and culture. Yet that’s what we’re called to! We are to be the ambassadors of God’s peace in our families, our communities, and our culture. That doesn’t mean there will be no hostilities around us, but that in and through them, we are sharing the One who brings peace amidst and through the chaos. We share the coming Jesus as the One through whom chaos and hostilities have been conquered. We share Jesus, Who blesses the world with hope through the peace only He can – and has – given! Bring it, Lord!

  • John 14:27
  • Matthew 5:9

A CHILD IS BORN! A SON IS GIVEN!
To Us & For Us: The Savior Jesus
