This "And Now the Work Begins" video addresses tasks that Christians need to start after the celebration experience of Christmas. Cy Lynch, pastor of Trinity Baptist Church, uses, "When the Song of the Angels is Stilled" (a poem by Howard Thurman) and various scripture passages to detail how love is a choice, not just a feeling and is an action, not just an emotion.

Following Jesus involves responsibilities and how we act toward fulfilling these responsibilities strongly indicate the strength of our faith walk. God saved us for a purpose. God left each of us here to fulfill the plans he has for us individually. God brought us together to fulfill the plans that he has for us collectively: To live God’s Love Into Our Community.

Scripture texts: 1 John 4:9; 3:16-18; Luke 19:10; Psalm 147:3; Isaiah 58:6-7; Luke 4:18c; Isaiah 42:6-7; Hebrews 12:14; Ephesians 5:18-20
