Merry CHARISmas: A gift from God we don't deserve

Charis - The grace of God given to us through Jesus. When it comes to Christmas time, we all have lists of what we want. Stuff that is very expensive. Stuff that is very cheap. Stuff that makes us feel better about our current situation and stuff that helps others with their situation. God has a list and that one list is for ALL of humanity to be reconciled back to Him for all eternity. And the only way for His gift to be accepted is through GRACE! God choosing to His Son Jesus to bring Him His gift. Starting this holiday season and beyond, we would like for you to see and experience the radical grace of God that is given through Jesus. And because of what Jesus has done in your life, we challenge you to show radical grace to others.
