There is nothing quite like a holiday road trip. Although the Wise Men didn’t make it to the manger, their road trip to see the Newborn King is an essential piece in understand the real Christmas story. So this week, we take the ultimate Christmas road trip and follow the star home…get ready, we continue our unique look at Christmas with the invitation to come Home for Christmas.
We often sing about the first Christmas night and imagine it to be a silent night. It was not! The first Christmas was chaotic and messy – a lot like some of our own Christmas celebrations in our own homes. In the midst of the mayhem and clutter, the peace of God radiates through our celebration and reminds us that God’s presence brings hope to our messy and unexpected moments. Get ready for a silent night with some holy messes!
The Christmas season reminds us of the longing for home—a place where we belong, are loved, and find peace.
But sometimes, just like Mary and Joseph in Luke 2:1-7, the journey to “home” isn’t easy.
Yet, even in unexpected places and imperfect circumstances, God creates a space for us to belong.
Christmas is here and it is time to go “Home for Christmas.”
Today we will see the importance of home and how to help create that safe space for others.
To live the life you were created by God to live you need tenacity. No shortcuts, you must learn to be tenacious. In the final session of this series, we’ll explore the importance of pre-deciding to be persistent and resilient. Life’s obstacles can either break us or build us, but when we choose to be tenacious in advance, we are equipped to persevere no matter what comes our way.
We are in a series about making Preemptive Strikes in our life! Today we talk about a very important and telling pre-choice.
Generosity is more than just spontaneous giving; it’s a mindset that begins with a pre-choice to be a blessing. If you are willing, you will find some ways to cultivate a heart of generosity, become a philanthropist in spirit, and live in such a way that our lives pour out love, kindness, and resources to those around us.
