Chapter 5: The Righteousness of Jesus | Key #2 | freedomGIVER

If we have been reconciled to God through Jesus, how can we possibly stand before a perfectly holy God?

In Chapter 5, The Righteousness of Jesus, Anna introduces the second key to freedom: the incredible reality that because of Jesus, we have been given a right standing before God that we could never earn or achieve on our own. We no longer have to prove our goodness or work to maintain God's acceptance. His righteousness is a gift we receive through faith.

Through stories, Scripture, and reflection, we'll explore the goodness and purposes of God's Law, the relationship between Law and grace, and how the gospel changes the way we understand obedience. We don't obey to earn God's favor. We learn to obey because we have already received it.

I believe that because of Jesus, I am fully righteous before God, not because of what I do, but because of what He has done for me.

Chapter 4: Reconciliation Through Christ | Key #1 | freedomGIVER

How can broken, sinful people have access to a perfectly holy God?

In Chapter 4, Reconciliation Through Christ, Anna introduces the first key to freedom: the incredible reality that because of Jesus, our broken relationship with God has been restored. Through Christ’s once-for-all sacrifice, we have been brought near and given access to God as our Father.

Through stories, Scripture, and reflection, we’ll explore atonement, reconciliation, mercy, and grace and discover what it means to be in Christ. We no longer stand outside trying to earn our way in. Jesus has made the way.

I believe that because of Jesus, I am fully reconciled to God and have access to Him as my Father.

Chapter 3: Unlocking Your Unbelief | freedomGIVER

What do we do when we believe in God but struggle to believe Him in a particular place?

In Chapter 3, Unlocking Your Unbelief, Anna introduces the lock in the imagery of freedomGIVER. What we believe about God, ourselves, and our circumstances shapes how we live. When we hold to what is true, the lock opens. When we believe what is false, the chains can feel tightly fastened.

Through stories and Scripture, we’ll consider the connection between belief, trust, and faith. We’ll also look at repentance as an invitation to return to God, and learn to look beneath our behavior for the unbelief at its root. We can bring even our struggle to believe to the One who meets us with grace.

I believe; help my unbelief! Mark 9:24

Chapter 2: The Chains That Bind You | freedomGIVER

What keeps us from living in the freedom Jesus has already given us?

In Chapter 2, The Chains That Bind You, Anna takes us into the bigger story of Scripture, from Eden to Eternity, to help us understand how brokenness entered our world and why we still feel its effects today. Even though we belong to Christ, we can find ourselves living as though old chains still have power over us.

Through stories, Scripture, and reflection, we’ll begin identifying some of the chains that weigh us down and the beliefs beneath them. We’ll also look at the things we reach for to give us what only God can provide, and discover the grace that continues to meet us there. The chains may be real, but they are not our master.

For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace. Romans 6:14

Chapter 1: A Treasure Bigger Than You’ve Ever Imagined | freedomGIVER

What if the gospel is more than the message that saves us? What if it is an invitation into a treasure far greater than we have ever imagined?

In Chapter 1, A Treasure Bigger Than You’ve Ever Imagined, we begin by going back to the gospel itself, not simply as the starting point of our faith, but as the truth we are invited to live in every single day. We’ll explore what it means to come to God like a little child, to recognize the difference between inspiration and invitation, and to begin seeing the gospel as an inheritance to receive rather than a paycheck to earn.

I'm really excited to share this Christmas Message with you—it's all about the incredible depth of the heartfelt message from God to us through His Son, Jesus. As I speak about Jesus being the ultimate representation of God's love, forgiveness, and hope, it's truly impactful to realize these teachings don't just apply in our darkest moments but also in our everyday lives. Just like those timeless Christmas carols that touch our hearts, reminding us of our value and the promise of peace, these truths resonate deeply with the warmth and hope of the season...that is Jesus, our Savior.

HERE is the copy of Christmas in the book of Hebrews that I mentioned. Please print it out and be encouraged reading more about Jesus being the ultimate connection between God and people.

Bible Verses in today's Christmas message:

John 1:1-5

Hebrews 1:3

Personal Processing Questions:

P.S. A couple of years ago my dear friend Katy Shelton and I wrote an Advent Devotional called Christmas Matters. You can go HERE to order it.

🎄Please email me with any personal ways God is speaking to you this Christmas! [email protected]

This was a talk that I gave at a monthly meeting called Coffee & Connection in Birmingham for our Non-Profit called Beacon People. (To learn more go to beaconpeople.org) You may or may not have heard the news that my husband, Tyler and I recently had to permanently close the coffee shop we owned and operated for almost seven years. We have poured our life into Innova Coffee and the experience has been indescribable! This was an unexpected turn in the path that God had planned for our future all along but the closing was extremely unexpected by us! Listen to the story and also hear the truths that have kept me feeling stable and secure throughout. I hope God's Word will encourage you today.
