We’re also looking for raffle items if you would love to support that way. Everything helps! Thank you in advance for loving our city & helping us reach it for Christ! Visit FCANevada.org to sign up!
Today tragedy struck our community & our lives. Please be in prayer for our student athletes at UNLV, the faculty & staff, our chaplains @lauren.roback & @hurdlemaster3g as they minister to the campus, and overall the families impacted. Jesus is the hope we need in this situation, so above all pray his name is known & the peace of the comforter is felt. #unlv #unlvfca #prayforunlv

As we bring advent to a close— reflect on what Christ coming to Earth means to you.
Go over the story in Luke & really dig into the humble beginning of the savior of the world. He never had to come, but he chose to so he could take our place.
What would it mean for you to trust in Jesus? To believe his word & see his goodness in your life?
As the holiday season comes to a close know that Jesus loves you & he came so you can have a full & wonderful life.
We hope you had a merry Christmas & that this short series encouraged you.

“For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6
MERRY CHRISTMAS! May you experience the Lord’s love in a fresh way this Christmas. Thank you for all the support & prayers this year for all of the Vegas staff!
We love you! See you next year! ❤️

Fun fact: the wisemen did not meet Jesus until he was about 2 years old. Scholars actually don’t know how many wisemen there were so we just go with 3.
The men travelled from far away and brought expensive gifts to the new king— they even saved him from being killed by King Herod.
Even without money there are gifts we can give to Jesus— our time, our talent, our platform, and our hearts (to name a few).
What is something that you would consider expensive in your life that you could give to Jesus this Christmas?
#wisemen #fellowshipofchristianathletes #fca #vegasfca
Over the next three days we will dive into three main aspects of the Christmas story— angels, wisemen, and Christ’s birth.
First, let’s look at Gabriel. The angel visited Mary & Joseph in two different ways & both had to use that information to trust God to fulfill his promise: the Messiah.
Faith is a huge part of trusting Jesus, & it was a key character trait of Joseph & Mary. Even when things didn’t make sense they chose to believe God through his heavenly messenger.
Is it hard for you to trust God when it doesn’t make sense? How can The reactions of Mary & Joseph encourage you when things are hard to understand?

“For you see, when the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby leaped for joy inside me. Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill what he has spoken to her!” Luke 1:44-45 (spoken by Elizabeth— John’s mother)
Even as an unborn baby, John knew who Jesus was & his purpose was being prepared for him.
The angel told Zachariah that his son would “he will be filled with the Holy Spirit while still in his mother’s womb” & “he will go before him in the spirit & power of Elijah… to make ready for the Lord a prepared people.”
How many times do we feel like we pray & pray for a person or a circumstance to never see it happen— but we don’t know if we are the ones helping to prepare the person for what Jesus is going to do in their life.
John’s purpose in Jesus’ life & in the Christmas story can give us hope for how the Lord uses us and how we can also glorify the Lord.
Let us think about the importance of the preparations for Jesus’ birth— a detail that we so often miss this time of year.

So it’s just a list of names right? I think most of us think that when we first read Matthew 1, but it’s so much more than that.
“The genealogy shows God’s faithfulness to work through ordinary, sinful people from generation to generation to bring Jesus… to redeem a nation.” @shereadstruth advent
It tells the whole story of the Bible from Genesis 1 to the New Testament. It shows the faith of some non Jewish people who became a crucial part of the narrative like Rahab & Ruth.
It’s a complete look at how God keeps his promises.
Take another look at Matthew 1 and dig a little deeper into some of the names. It may just become a Christmas favorite.

Advent: the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event.
For Christians, advent refers to the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. We reflect on the Christian story and how Jesus fulfilled the promises in the Old Testament.
For advent we’re going to share parts of the Christmas story & share how it’s still relevant today.
Today’s verse is:
“For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.”
Isaiah 9:6-7
