The Hope of Christmas
As Christians, we celebrate the birth of Christ, remembering that His coming set in motion the events that would lead to Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection, which gave us the gift of salvation, forgiveness, and relationship with God. So why did so many at the time miss it? And what lesson does that hold for us today?
Waiting, Watching, Hoping
Sometimes, the events of Christmas in the Bible are so familiar, we lose sight of the wonder. This week, we are looking at two people from the Christmas narrative that remind us just how wondrous and joyous the coming of the Savior really is!
Responding in Faith
The Christmas account is full of examples of men and women who responded in faith. But there is also a contrast given.
And His Name Shall Be Called
You are probably familiar with the names listed in Isaiah 9:6, but the Bible says that the name of the Lord is a strong tower, and this year I have been encouraged by how the names in Isaiah 9:6 can be a place of refuge throughout Christmas time and all the rest of the year, too!
This is Love
We all know that Christmas is a celebration of Jesus’ birth, but have you stopped to consider just how great His love really is?
Christmas for the Lonely
Loneliness at Christmastime is a widespread phenomenon, but God wants to use those feelings of emptiness to draw us to Himself.
The Mystery of Christmas
I love a good mystery, but the mystery of Christmas is not puzzle but paradox.
The Good Shepherd and the Lamb of God
The Bible’s description of Jesus as the Good Shepherd, and also as the Lamb of God are commonly talked about, but together, they create a fuller picture of Christ than we often realize.
From Thanksgiving to Christmas
The transition from Thanksgiving to Christmas can seem like an abrupt change in direction, but for the Christian, it is a logical progression in gratefulness to God.
