Sometimes we can't understand what Luke is trying to tell us because we hear it through a filter of nostalgia and colorful lights. This is the Christmas story like you may not have heard it before.

A message on the importance of encouragement, Christmas Cards, and making the most of every opportunity. Don't waste your Christmas.

Colossians 3:18–4:1
God shrinks down to our size and comes to earth to play with us, showing that everything about the kingdom of God is lived out in relationships. May we be husbands, wives, children, bosses, employees, teachers and students as unto the Lord. 

Colossians 3:16–17
In order to “Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill our lives,” our text says there are three things we have to do:

• Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives.
• Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
• And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through him to God the Father.
