A Christmas Message 2024

As we approach the joyous celebration of Christmas, we are reminded of the incredible gift given to us over 2,000 years ago—the birth of Jesus Christ. This season is a time to reflect on the love, hope, and peace that His coming brings to our lives.

Isaiah 9:6 declares, "For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."

May this Christmas fill your heart with the peace of Christ and remind us all to share His love with those around us. Let’s take this time to cherish our families, extend kindness to our neighbors, and celebrate the blessings we have been given.

From all of us at the Knoxville Insider, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a New Year filled with faith, hope, and joy!
