Reasons For The Season - To Cast Out Fear

The Christmas story is one that is full of fear.  But with Christ at the center of the season, His perfect love has cast out fear!

This time of the year, we are all swept up in the business of Christmas.  Sometimes, we can lose sight of the Reasons for the Season!  This series will take a close look at why Jesus came!

"For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline."
