A Christmas kind of grace
It’s easy for Christmas to become a little stale for us Christians. We know the story and we can sometimes struggle to engage with it spiritually through all the noise. However, Christmas offers us a special perspective on the grace of God that is worth being reminded of every year.
A moment in time
As we prepare for Christmas through this Advent season, we are being reminded that our true preparation is for Jesus’ second coming. In our New Testament reading, Peter has some things to say about time—how much we depend on it and how little God does.
The true joy of Christmas (Is. 62:6–12)
The arrival of the Son of God as a human being, and what he would ultimately do for us, is the only true source of lasting joy at Christmas.
New star, old star
Can Christmas be new? Whether you’re an old star or a new star, Jesus makes it new again tonight.
Gather, grow, go (Is. 2:1–5)
This Advent season, we are going to journey through Isaiah. In the New Testament, no prophet is quoted more than Isaiah. Today, we hear of a vision that Isaiah saw.
