Our Christmas Shoppes series continues as we are counting down to Christmas at The Church @ 434. Today we drop into the Toy Shoppe. Seeing Christmas through a child’s eyes—and discovering that God fills our lives with gifts that wake up joy, wonder, imagination, and purpose can make Christmas come alive. Today as we wander through the Toy Shoppe, we will see that God places holy gifts on the shelves of your heart…And discover where the child within you learns to dream again.

It’s that magical time of year when everything seems to speed up, then slow down a little….we do our best to get ready to celebrate, but no matter what – Christmas happens! So we are going to do some shop looking this Christmas season. The first stop in our series is The Coffee Shoppe. Much like sharing a cup of coffee with someone special, the Christmas story invites us to connect. Christmas is just around the corner, so today let’s stop at the corner Coffee Shoppe.

There are one of two ways to face life. You can be grateful or you can be a grumbler.
Grateful people are thankful people – Grumblers have made the choice to see the worst and even more destructively – be the worst version of themselves.
As we wrap up this series and get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving this year, make this the day you choose to live Upbeat instead of Beat Up.

Do we shine brightly for Jesus or do we lurk in the shadows?
It is time to come out of the shadows and realize that Selfless people will shine brightly in a world of shadow dwellers

How do you think you look? We all look at ourselves in the mirror from time to time…but how do you look spiritually?
We usually don’t think about how we look in a spiritual sense. Here is an amazing thought – Attractive people are people who look like they know they are blessed.
Sure, it sounds weird, but it is true. Stressed people – well, they just look stressed -The difference is huge…are you blessed or stressed?
