A Strange Combination of Ingredients Can Make A Great Recipe!

With the beginning of the new church year we’re at a time where this is a unique combination of ingredients: thinking about the end of the world + looking forward to Jesus’ coming + Thanksgiving. This unique combo makes for a beautiful recipe in a messy world!

1) We can feel that there is a darkness in the world. But in Advent we focus on the light of Jesus coming!

2) When the world turned against Jesus, He lovingly humbled Himself in order to save the world!

3) On the cross an exchange took place. Jesus took on the cold sin of the world and gave us the warm love of God.

4) Even in a challenging world, we feast on God’s mercy.

5) A Christian shows Thanksgiving by showing love and sharing the light of Christ!
