Get in the Right Position
on January 11th, 2025
“There was a man in Jerusalem, whose name was Simeon…” - Luke 2:25 Simeon’s journey to meeting the Messiah didn’t just start with a promise from God. It also involved making sure he was in the right position to receive that promise. After receiving the revelation from the Holy Spirit that he would see the Messiah before he died, Simeon could have stayed wherever he was. He could have continued wit... Read More

In Possession of a Personal Promise
on January 10th, 2025
“It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord’s Christ.” - Luke 2:26 Simeon’s story in Scripture is powerful not only because of what he experienced but because of what he held onto. While the Jewish people as a whole were waiting for the Messiah, Simeon had something personal: a unique promise from God. It wasn’t just the general hope that... Read More

Seeing Jesus for Yourself
on January 9th, 2025
"Simeon took him up in his arms and blessed God and said, 'Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation.'" - Luke 2:28-30 Life can get overwhelming with all its responsibilities and distractions.

A Long-Awaited Reunion
on January 8th, 2025
"For my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples." - Luke 2:30 Some of the most moving videos are those of soldiers coming home, surprised by a reunion with their families. The raw emotion, the surprise, the joy. It’s hard not to be moved by these scenes. There’s something universally touching about the moment when someone who has been apart from their lo... Read More

Let God Handle the Guest List
on January 7th, 2025
"And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd." - John 10:16 Have you ever been to a party or event where you were asked to help decide who could come? You know, the guest list? It can be tough to make sure everyone fits, especially when you want the party to be just right. But sometimes, we get... Read More

Stop Talking So Loud
on January 6th, 2025
"Whoever has ears, let them hear.” - Matthew 11:15 Jesus understood the struggle of those who needed to hear His voice but couldn’t because His followers were talking too loud. The “other sheep” (that we referenced a few days ago) who need to hear His voice are struggling because we, as Christians, often dominate the conversation and drown out the voices of those who are searching for truth. Somet... Read More

We Do Not Have a Monopoly on God
on January 5th, 2025
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." - John 3:16 Too many times, Christians can fall into the trap of thinking that they have exclusive rights to God’s love, truth, and blessings. It’s easy to think that God belongs only to those who look like us, believe like us, or live like us. We may even start to believe... Read More

That’s the Point
on January 4th, 2025
"And I have other sheep that are not of this fold. I must bring them also, and they will listen to my voice. So there will be one flock, one shepherd." - John 10:16 When you read John 10, Jesus knew that some of His audience might be hearing His words and thinking that salvation was just for them. He had already told them that He is the Gate and the Good Shepherd, but He wasn’t just talking to the... Read More

Who God Invites to the Table
on January 3rd, 2025
"Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand." - Romans 14:4 When we envision God’s table, it’s easy to picture it filled with people who seem “worthy” by our standards. Those who appear righteous, kind, or godly. But God’s table isn’t limited by human expectations. His in... Read More

Thankful for Your Seat
on January 2nd, 2025
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9 I want you to understand something: You didn’t earn an invitation to God’s table, nor do you have the means to repay the host. It’s purely a gift, extended out of love. That’s what God has done for you through Jesus Christ. The ... Read More

Plenty of Room

"Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find." - Matthew 22:9 A while back, there was an interesting discussion on a television show featuring Gayle King and Charles Barkley. Gayle shared a story about being invited to dinner by Charles, an invitation she eagerly accepted. She prepared thoroughly, choosing the perfect outfit, doing her makeup, and even resear... Read More

A New Thing
on December 31st, 2024
"Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?"* – Isaiah 43:18-19 As we stand on the edge of a new year, there’s something powerful about this moment. It's not just about turning a calendar page or setting resolutions, it’s about looking ahead with a fresh sense of expectancy. The past year, with all its highs and l... Read More

Reliance on God
on December 30th, 2024
"I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."* – Philippians 4:13 Paul’s secret to contentment wasn’t about his strength, his abilities, or his willpower. Instead, it was rooted in his reliance on God. He knew that true contentment doesn’t come from pushing ourselves through difficulties by sheer force of will. It doesn’t come from pretending everything is fine or convincing ourselv... Read More

More Than Transactions
on December 28th, 2024
"I thank my God in all my remembrance of you… because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now." – Philippians 1:3, 5 In today’s world, it’s far too common to see relationships that feel like business transactions. You’re valued as long as you’re giving, achieving, or showing up for others. But when the well dries up or the spotlight shifts, it’s heartbreaking how quickly ... Read More

Contentment in Authentic Relationships
on December 27th, 2024
"Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound." – Philippians 4:11-12 What gave Paul his peace in such turbulent times? Surprisingly, it wasn’t his wealth, his position, or even his authority as an apostle. Instead, Paul’s contentment was anchored in authentic relationships. Througho... Read More

"Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need." – Philippians 4:11-12 If anyone had the right to complain, it was Paul. When he penned the words in Philippians 4, he wasn’t writing... Read More

The Gift of Becoming

"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit." – 2 Corinthians 3:18 On Christmas Day, we’re used to focusing on the child in the manger; tiny, vulnerable, filled with promise.
