Christmas often brings us a warm feeling–peace on earth, goodwill to all. But not everyone felt that way on the first Christmas. Matthew tells us that while Jesus came to save us, not everyone wants the salvation He brings. For some, Jesus is not a gift, He is a threat. And they will do whatever it takes to get rid of Him. - Pastor Ron Kool Support the show

God's people are just about to head into the Promised Land, but are completely unaware of a threat behind the scenes. The prophet Balaam was hired to curse the Israelites and damage their relationship with the God of Israel. What we'll explore together this Sunday is how God can turn the intended curses of others into blessings, promises, and hope for our future. - Pastor Arek O'Connell Support the show
