The Gathering Place Where Family Matters

On a warm day in July of 2013 I preached a message about our awesome God. The message was entitled, “The God Who is Ready to Forgive Me.” It was based upon Deuteronomy 4. As I was reading through one of Karen’s Bible study journals, I discovered that she had taken notes of the message. In fact, she had taken such very good notes I could preach from them today! What I really enjoyed is seeing her application of the message

Let me take you back ten years to something that Karen wrote in her Bible study journal. A new year was about to dawn. Obviously, no one other than the Lord can see beyond the present moment as we start the journey for next year. While this was written long before the cancer diagnosis, Karen was very concerned for a number of dear folks who were facing great uncertainties as they faced the new year.

I’m excited to share “Karen’s Notes” with you today. We conclude 2020 and anticipate 2021. Thanks for stopping by today.

While many commentators write volumes about the miracle of Christmas, I think you will like Karen’s typical “to-the-point brevity about “The Sheer Miracle of Christmas!”

The Christmas season evokes various emotions in the lives of believers. Come and spend a few moments to see what Karen wrote about on that Christmas in 1988.
