A Season of Love
Christmas is most of all a season of love, a celebration of the love of Christ shown by His choosing to come to earth, choosing to humble Himself and take on human flesh. But as wonderful as the manger is, it is only a small piece of the grand display of the love of God for us.
A Season of Joy
We hear a lot about joy during the Christmas season, but where does that joy come from?
A Season of Peace
Christmas is a season that celebrates the gift given by God to mankind: the gift of His perfect peace.
A Season of Hope
The Christmas season is often a season of busyness and hurry, and in the midst of all our preparations it can be easy to lose sight of the hope of which the Christmas season is meant to remind us.
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?
