Description
The Christmas season is a powerful and unique time of year to remember that Jesus came to make a way for us to be near God. In his life, death, and resurrection, Jesus built a bridge between us and God allowing us to have continual, unhindered communion with our Creator. But God can’t force us into nearness with him. Even as believers filled with the Holy Spirit, we can choose to live as if God is still far off.

Our Scripture for today comes from James 4:8, and today's worship is This Close by Steffany Gretzinger. Did you know? First15 is completely donor-funded!
