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!

Rejoicing in the Savior
The week between Christmas and New Years can feel like an emotional lull, a dull point in between celebrations. But for the Christian, the joy of Christmas is not just for one specific day or season—it is for every day!

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.

The Fullness of Christ
Christmas is a celebration of Christ’s gift to us. But that gift goes far beyond salvation from the penalty of our sins.

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.
