As of this writing, another year is rapidly coming to a close. We at The Coffeehouse Bible Ministry have much to be thankful for. It has been our joy and privilege to serve Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ; helping spread His message to all.
The Christmas season heralds the birth of Jesus Christ and the promise of our salvation. It also signals the time for our annual holiday break. This provides everyone with a well-deserved pause for travel, family gatherings, and community service.
But no matter the purpose, our main focus is, first and foremost, ever fixed on Jesus Christ. It is only by His mercy and grace that this blog has existed for so many years. We take no credit for what we freely love to do in His Name. To Him, go all the praise and glory!

The Very First Christmas Day
By Brenda Thompson Davis
"The Very First Christmas Day" is an original Christmas story poem that tells of the Savior's birth in Bethlehem.
His parents had no money, although He was a King—
An angel came to Joseph one night as he dreamed.
"Don't be afraid to marry her, this child is God's own Son,"
And with these words from God's messenger, their journey had begun.
They traveled to the city, their taxes to be paid—
But when Christ was born they found no place for the baby to be laid.
So they wrapped Him up and used a lowly manger for His bed,
With nothing else but straw to place beneath the Christ-child's head.
The shepherds came to worship Him, the wise men traveled too—
Led by a star up in the sky, they found the baby new.
They gave him gifts so wondrous, their incense, myrrh, and gold,
Thus completes the greatest story of a birth 'twas ever told.
He was just a tiny baby, born in a stable far away—
They had no reservations, and nowhere else to stay.
But His birth was so majestic, in a simple sort of way,
A baby born in Bethlehem on a very special day.
It was the Savior born in Bethlehem, on the very first Christmas Day.
