By Renee Meyer Silent Night, Holy Night Son of God, Love’s pure light. I have heard my entire Christian life that God is love and Christmas is the celebration of that love. But I have rarely paused to consider what that actually means. This Christmas Eve, let’s take a moment to consider what we learn …
Jesus is our Joy
By Katie Kafka I recently took a trip with my family to the Happiest Place on Earth. You know, that place where darling girls can be princesses, feisty boys get to be pirates, and grown adults sport a set of bedazzled mouse ears. Our moments were filled with sunshine and smiles. Everywhere we went there …
Embracing Peace
By Marlys Burgett It’s Advent--the season to be thinking about waiting. Waiting for the return of Jesus, who will redeem our broken world. Waiting peacefully for His peace to reign forever. I'll admit it sounds so lovely, the peaceful waiting! I imagine myself in a Hallmark movie in a beautiful home, surrounded by lights and …
This Baby . . . Our Hope
"The world – under tyrannical rule, fraught with despair and devastation – exhaled a deep sigh of relief and inhaled hope with that baby’s first cry. "
Give Thanks!
PSALM 107 Give thanks to the Lord for He is good! His loving-kindness lasts forever! 2 Let the people who have been saved say so. He has bought them and set them free from the hand of those who hated them. 3 He gathered them from the lands, from east and west, from north and south. 4 Some …

No Words . . . Just Jesus
I've enjoyed having this past month's prayer verse sitting by the sink in my kitchen. As I look out my window onto the beautiful fall colors, I'm reminded that "His mercies are over all his works." On Tuesday Morning, we were invited to pick up a new prayer verse for the month of November. For …
An Exclusive Home
Jesus carefully frames His home, offering the very best place for us to dwell with Him (in John 15:5-8). Let's step into that framework as Jesus explains: “Separated, you can’t produce a thing. Anyone who separates from me is deadwood, gathered up and thrown on the bonfire.” John 15:6 Yes, home with Jesus is an …
In His Presence
On Tuesday Morning, Carey encouraged us to seek God's presence as she led us through worship with song and scripture. Below is the Psalm she shared with us. Take some time this week to read through the words again. Meditate on what it tells us about the character of God and claim its promises for …
