What Is God’s Will? A Biblical Path from Anxiety to Formation
Few questions haunt the Christian imagination more persistently than this one: What is God’s will? We ask it at the crossroads of decision, in seasons of uncertainty, and often with an undercurrent of anxiety—as if the will of God were a narrow tightrope we might easily fall from if we take one wrong step. But […]
The Night of Glory
Christmas Eve… the day all of Advent has been leading toward. The manger holds the mystery of a God who chose humility to reach humanity. The same Christ who came near that night is still Emmanuel today. As candles glow and carols rise, pause to let your heart echo the angels’ song: Glory to God […]
Glory Revealed
The incarnation is the breathtaking mystery of God made flesh, the infinite choosing to be known through the intimate. In Jesus, grace and truth met perfectly, and the glory of God became visible. The same glory that once filled the temple now dwells in us through His Spirit. As we near Christmas, pause to behold […]
Light in the Darkness
From the first words of creation, “Let there be light”, to the birth of Jesus, Light has been overcoming darkness. In Him was life, and that life was the light of all humanity. Even now, His light shines through the shadows of fear, grief, and uncertainty. As you look at the glow of Christmas lights, […]
God with Us
Emmanuel, God with us, is the heartbeat of Christmas. From Eden to the manger to the indwelling Spirit, God’s desire has always been to dwell with His people. The miracle of the incarnation is not just that He came near, but that He remains near. Today, take comfort in knowing that you are never alone. […]
Preparing Room
As Christmas draws near, Advent invites us to prepare room for Christ, not by doing more, but by making space in our hearts. Just as there was no room for Jesus in Bethlehem, our own lives can become crowded with hurry, distraction, and striving. But when we pause, release control, and allow the Spirit to […]
Expectation
Expectation is the heartbeat of Advent, the sacred longing for both the cradle and the crown. We celebrate that Jesus came once in humility and will come again in glory. Like the faithful throughout history, we live between the already and the not yet, called to serve, love, and hope as we wait. Every act […]
Peace
The angels announced peace on earth, but Jesus redefined what peace truly means. It’s not the absence of conflict, it’s the presence of Christ. Through the Holy Spirit, we’re reminded that His peace still guards our hearts when life feels unsteady. This Advent, we receive peace not as an achievement, but as a gift from […]
Joy
Joy is the natural overflow of knowing Jesus. It isn’t dependent on what’s happening around us but on who He is within us. The shepherds, the Magi, and the early disciples all experienced joy when they encountered the Savior. Advent joy reminds us that no matter what season we’re in, we can rejoice because Christ […]
Faith
Faith bridges the gap between God’s promises and our present reality. Like Sarah, who laughed in disbelief before laughing in joy, we’re reminded that faith doesn’t depend on our perfection, it grows from God’s proven faithfulness. Even small faith in a big God can move mountains. Advent invites us to believe again that every promise […]
