Pizza Ranch Serves

The fourth Advent candle is the candle of Love. The Bible is the greatest love story ever written and the birth of Christ is a great display of God’s immeasurable love for us. John 3:16 summarizes this so well, “For God so loved the world that gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

The third Advent candle is the candle of Joy! We light this candle to remember that even in the hardships of this life, Christ has come to save us from our sins and for that we have eternal joy. As the angels proclaimed to the shepherds on the night of Christ’s birth “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” (Luke 2:10-11) Christ’s birth is a source of GREAT JOY! The Pizza Ranch Marketing Team had the opportunity to spread some love & joy this holiday season by taking time away to serve at a local non-profit in the area.

1 John 4:10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.

Sometimes, in the month of December, it is easy to get caught up in the gifts and distractions of the holiday season. It can also be easy to allow the distractions to keep us from focusing on what the Christmas season is truly about.

Friday Devotional - God's Expensive Purchase by guest speaker, Rory. “You were God’s EXPENSIVE PURCHASE, paid for with tears of blood, so by all means, then, use your body to bring glory to God!” (1 Corinthians 6:20 TPT emphasis mine)

When Jesus was asked in Matthew 22 what the most important command was, He didn’t hesitate to recite Deuteronomy 6:5: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."
