As the calendar turns and a new year dawns, many people feel inspired to set resolutions—goals for personal growth, health, or achievement. Yet, for followers of Christ, the invitation is deeper and more transformative than simply self-improvement. Jesus calls us to a life of discipleship, marked by daily surrender, purposeful living, and a commitment to reflect His character in all we do.
Christmas Day is a celebration of the greatest gift ever given—the birth of Jesus Christ. After weeks of anticipation through Advent, we arrive at the moment when hope, peace, joy, and love converge in the person of Jesus. The prophecy of Isaiah, spoken centuries before Christ’s birth, finds its fulfillment in the manger at Bethlehem. God’s promise to send a Savior is realized, and the world is forever changed.
Christmas Eve is a night filled with anticipation, wonder, and hope. For centuries, believers have gathered on this holy night to remember the birth of Jesus—the moment when God stepped into human history in the most unexpected way. The story is both simple and profound: a young couple, a humble stable, and a newborn child wrapped in swaddling cloths. Yet, within this scene lies the greatest miracle the world has ever known.
As the Advent season draws to its final Sunday, the theme of love takes center stage. The candles of hope, peace, and joy have been lit, each one preparing our hearts for the arrival of Christ. Now, the fourth candle reminds us of the greatest gift: love. In a world often marked by division, loneliness, and longing, the message of Advent is clear—God’s love is the answer to our deepest needs.
The third Sunday of Advent invites us to pause and reflect on the profound gift of joy. In a season often marked by anticipation and waiting, joy stands out as a beacon of hope, reminding us that the coming of Christ brings light into every shadow. The apostle Paul’s words to the Philippians urge us to rejoice—not just in pleasant circumstances, but always. This call echoes the angels’ message to the shepherds: “I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people” (Luke 2:10).
The second Sunday of Advent often centers on the theme of peace—God’s deep, abiding gift that surpasses understanding. In Luke’s Gospel, Zechariah speaks these words over his newborn son, John the Baptist, foretelling his role in preparing the way for Jesus, the Prince of Peace. The promise is not just for Zechariah’s family, but for all who find themselves longing for peace in a world marked by turmoil, division, and uncertainty.
Advent marks the beginning of the Christian year—a season set apart for anticipation, reflection, and preparing our hearts for the coming of Christ. For centuries, believers have gathered in homes and churches to light the first candle of Advent, symbolizing hope that pierces the darkness. The prophet Isaiah spoke to a people longing for deliverance, living in the shadow of uncertainty. His words foretold the arrival of a light so powerful that it would transform all who received it.
As Thanksgiving approaches, our hearts and homes often fill with the sights, sounds, and smells of celebration. Families gather, tables overflow with abundance, and laughter echoes through our days. Yet, amid the busyness and joyful moments, there is an invitation to pause and remember the source of every blessing: God’s enduring goodness and mercy.
Veteran’s Day invites us to pause and remember the men and women who have served our country with courage, dedication, and self-sacrifice. Their willingness to stand in harm’s way, to defend freedom and protect others, is a living testament to the highest ideals of service. While we honor their sacrifice, we are also reminded that such acts of valor echo a deeper spiritual truth found in scripture: the call to lay down one’s life for others.
On September 11, 2001, the world witnessed an event that would forever change the course of history. The tragic attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, as well as the crash in Shanksville, PA resulted in the loss of nearly 3,000 lives and left an indelible mark on the hearts of millions. In the aftermath of this tragedy, we saw a nation come together in a way that had not been seen in decades. People from all walks of life united in their grief, their resolve, and their faith.
