So many of these blessings were made possible by the continual prayer and support that we receive from each one of you.  Your desire to see the gospel message go forth through media ministry and see lives changed through that message is evident in the encouragement we so often receive from having you as a part of this ministry.  We are greatly humbled with the way this ministry is developing because we know that apart from God, none of it would have been possible. 

At this time of year we are often reminded anew of the great work that the Father did by sending his only son, Jesus, into the world to save a lost and sinful people.  Jesus is the ultimate example of humility and showed that God desires bring himself low to reach people as they are. Paul reminds us in Philippians 2 to

“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,  who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

 In light of this amazing truth, we want to emulate Christ in this way through our ministry – to reach a culture with the gospel story, through a medium that they use and understand. 

Praise God for giving us much more than we could ever deserve in the form of His Beloved son, Jesus Christ, and the salvation that comes through Him!  May we all be humbled and seek to be servants of Him and one another as we continue to share the good news of Jesus’ birth, life, death and resurrection. We pray that you will ponder these great truths and let the truth evoke a sense of awe and wonder at the God who came to live among us.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the Staff at City on a Hill Productions!!
