Good morning and welcome to Winterville Assembly of God Church. We are entering into a time that many people refer to as “the most wonderful time of the year.” While you are enjoying the season with your loved ones, always remember that Jesus is the reason for the season. Without Him, the month of December and early part of January would be nothing but cold, dreary, and dark. Thankfully, Jesus, the Light of the world, was born so that He would take away the sins of this lost and dying world. Have you ever wondered why Jesus was born in a place called Bethlehem and why He, the Savior of the world, was laid in a manger? That was just a small part of God’s awesome master plan. In Hebrew, Bethlehem means “House of Bread” and a manger is a feeding trough for sheep. Therefore, Jesus is the bread of life and was laid in the manger to feed His sheep. There are many examples of this type of symbolism throughout God’s Word that confirms God’s Love for His people. Do you know Him?

1He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. --Psalm 91:1
Psalm 91:1 is a comforting scripture to all who are burdened down with life and the challenges it brings. From time to time, we all, some more than others, look forward to finding that secret place hidden by the shadow of the Almighty God. The place where we can go and abide peacefully without being hammered with the ordinary stresses of life; the place where we can get alone with God without facing hindrances from the outside world; the place where we can find shelter from the storms; Let’s make Winterville Assembly of God Church the secret place for everyone to find refuge. Let us all vow to respect the secret place of our brothers and sisters by having no conversation with them outside of Jesus Christ and Him crucified. For example, if President Donald Trump were to join us for worship, let’s vow not to bother him with anything having to do with the affairs of the country, but give him time and space so that he may enter his secret place and be able to serve and worship the Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, here at Winterville without distractions. There are six other days in the week and countless lines of communication for us to take care of business related issues. Allow everyone his or her time in the Secret Place. God Bless You!
We will not be having our regular Wednesday night service on December 25th so that everyone can enjoy Christmas with their families.
