At Christmas we celebrate Jesus because He took on flesh and dwelt among us. The birth of Christ is not just a story of fulfilled prophecy—it is an invitation to belong, grow, serve, and proclaim. Each pillar of Stonebriar Community Church’s vision reflects the very heart of Christmas—God’s desire to offer relationship with Him, to transform lives, and to tell of the gospel message throughout the world.
We belong because Jesus made a way for us to be part of His family for all eternity. We grow as we reflect on the Christ child who came to give us new life. We serve to reflect to an unbelieving world the One who came to serve, not to be served. And when we proclaim His name, we invite others to know Him too.
As we enter this Christmas season, I invite you to pause for a few moments to read and reflect on each of these short daily devotionals. May we all remember that as we belong, grow, serve, and proclaim, we are united through Christ. Together Is Better.
Merry Christmas!
