In Charlie Brown Christmas, he was feeling sad because despite all the parties, presents, and pink aluminum Christmas trees; He felt empty because he didn’t realize the true meaning of Christmas. We can get pretty run down in a season when we should be focusing on Christ and his giant gift to us. When we take Christ out of Christmas, we can feel burdened and bogged down with the weight of the world. This podcast will discuss how we can keep Jesus as the Reason for the Season and how it is so freeing when we do that!

Bible Verses
Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. Philippians 2:6-8
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ. Colossians 2:8
Since you died with Christ to the basic principles of this world, why, as though you still belonged to it, do you submit to its rules. Colossians 2:20
