Watch In Him We Live 1 by Dr. James Tan
This past weekend, we had the incredible honor of welcoming Dr. James Tan as our guest speaker for all three services, and what a powerful time it was! He brought a stirring three-part message titled “In Him We Live,” launching with Acts 2:16:
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh.”
Throughout his message, Dr. James Tan unpacked what it means to live in these prophetic times and why the days we’re in require an extra dose of the Spirit of God, a supernatural empowerment for the season ahead.
If you want to dive deeper into this life-giving word, make sure to click the video above and hear the full message from Pastor James. It’s one you’ll want to listen to again and again!

It’s Always The Season For The Christmas Story
The Christmas story is a wonderful story. The birth of Jesus, the wise men, the shepherds, the manger, and all the other events of Christmas are glorious.
However, the Christmas season is not just a seasonal holiday. It is the commemoration of the birth of our Lord Jesus.
Most Christians and theologians agree that Jesus was not born on the 25th of December. However, it is the day that we set aside once a year to publicly acknowledge to the world that Jesus Christ was born.
The date is not important. The event is. The date is only a 24-hour time period, but the event changed the world and the universe for all eternity.
The birth of Jesus was the beginning of the earthly manifestation of God’s plan to reconcile man back to Himself. Several years after the resurrection of Jesus, Paul, in his letter to the Romans, talked about how those who believed in Jesus were reconciled to God through the death of Jesus.
Actually, the birth of Jesus is not just the Christmas story. But the birth of Jesus is the beginning of the salvation story and all of the story should be told all of the time.
Several years ago I was talking to a fellow minister about some of the miraculous things that took place at the birth of Jesus. We got very excited in our conversation. Then he looked at me and said, “I can hardly wait until Christmas so I can teach this at church.”
His statement struck a nerve inside of me. And that day I realized that too many ministers and Christians only talk about the birth of Jesus one Sunday per year.
The Christmas story is a wonderful story, but Jesus should never be reduced to a holiday icon. He is the Savior of the world who was born of a virgin, fathered by the Spirit of God, ministered on the earth, and laid down His life as the once and for all sacrifice.
And He did all this as He pressed toward the goal of fulfilling the Father’s plan!
This year as we celebrate Christmas, let’s keep the knowledge, understanding, and spirit of Christmas fresh every day throughout the year.
For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life (Rom. 5:10).
Merry Christmas!
