Holy greetings, my brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I remain saved, sanctified, and kept by the power of the Holy Ghost. I give honor to our General Chief Overseer, Bishop Dr. Calvin Worthem, the Assistant Overseer, Bishop Dr. Bonnie Guster, the Chief Helper, and all officials who work tirelessly to spread the word of God and bring souls to Christ.
Saints, I pray that all continue to enjoy God’s abundant blessings in 2025. Let us remain thankful and lift in prayer the people of California who have faced significant losses this year. We express our gratitude for the generous donations sent to them by the Church of the Living God.
During a recent outing at the mall, while the Overseer went to get the car serviced, I stayed behind to explore. I stumbled upon a beautiful item of clothing, and a thought struck me: “It’s Going to Cost You.” Upon seeing the price, I realized it was steep, and after examining the fabric, I concluded that it exceeded what I was willing to spend. So, I chose to leave it behind.
Saints, this situation reflects the nature of sin. Sin will cost you far more than you intend to pay, so I urge you to distance yourself from it. Just as I decided about the dress, remember that while sin may appear enticing, it can lead us away from heaven. Romans 6:23 reminds us, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”
If you find yourself acting or feeling contrary to the word of God, let it go. Recall St. John 10:10: “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
In closing, I reflect on a timeless truth: “Sin will take you further than you want to go, it will make you stay longer than you want to stay, and it will cost you more than you want to pay.”
All praises be to the True and Living God.
First Lady Deaconess Linda Worthem

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, power, and dominion now and forever; and to the Holy Ghost, who continues to dwell within us, guiding our steps. This month’s theme is “The Birth of Hope: How Jesus Changed the World.” This week’s message is titled “Fulfillment of Prophecies.”
Key prophecies, such as those found in Isaiah and Micah, articulate the characteristics and circumstances of the Messiah’s arrival. Isaiah 7:14, for instance, speaks of a virgin giving birth, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.” Meanwhile, Micah 5:2 specifies Bethlehem as the birthplace, “But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.” These prophetic details establish Jesus’ credibility as the promised Savior andprovide a deeper understanding of God’s plan for humanity.
The historical context of Jesus’ birth enhances the understanding of these prophecies. During the time of Jesus, the Jewish people were under Roman occupation and longed for a deliverer. The anticipation of a Messiah who would liberate them was palpable. This societal backdrop makes the fulfillment of the prophecies even more poignant. Jesus’ humble beginnings, born in a stable amidst lowly circumstances, defy the expectations of a mighty king. Jeremiah 23:5 declares, “Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King shall reign and prosper, and shall execute judgment and justice in the earth.” Rather than coming to overthrow empires, Jesus entered the world as a symbol of peace and hope, fulfilling the prophecies in ways that challenged conventional expectations and redefined what it meant to be a savior.
In closing, the impact of Jesus’ birth on Christianity cannot be overstated. The fulfillment of prophecies regarding His arrival has inspired countless generations to embrace the message of hope, love, and redemption. As Christians, we reflect on the significance of the Nativity; we are reminded of the unwavering faithfulness of God and the transformative power of Jesus’ life and teachings. Today, these reflections prompt believers to consider how the message of hope associated with Jesus’ birth remains relevant in a world often marked by despair and division. The call to embody the spirit of Christmas, rooted in love, compassion, and service, continues to be a vital aspect of living out the Christian faith today.
Remember, “with God, all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26b).
