Beyond Sunday: Hello

It’s time to review the year, prayerfully look ahead, and attend to those necessary goodbyes and make some room to welcome the needed hellos. How do we even begin to make sense of a whole year? 525,600 minutes. 365 days. 52 weeks. 12 months. 4 quarters. In all of these there are highs and lows, victories and defeats, great experiences and traumatic ones. Through it all, God desires to be with us. He gives us echoes of His presence all throughout the year; do we hear them? Are we paying attention? Do we desire to give Jesus access to all 525,600 minutes of our year to come?

Beyond Sunday: Christmas Inside Out - HOPE

Christmas Inside Out - Hope in a culture of fear, apathy, and unbelief.

Do we hope for the redemption of the world, for the deliverance of our souls? Jeremiah reminds us of the branch David promised to God’s people for rescue, return and redemption. Jesus is the fulfillment of this hope and in Luke 21 we read the hope we hold onto. This is a promise not just of future glory but God’s goodness in the here and now. This Advent season, do we hold onto the hope of Jesus or do we feel the fear, apathy and unbelief in the waiting?
