Christians are the most privileged people in the world. We have the privilege of coming to Christ, of becoming a spiritual house, and belonging to the family of God.

In a text that sets the tone for the rest of the letter, we will see from 1 Peter 1:3-12 that the resurrection of Christ changes how we live in a world that is not our home.

In our opening verses for 1 Peter, we examine the three life stages of the apostle and what we are called to remember as Christians living in a broken world.

Ecclesiastes gives us the perspective we need heading into 2021. We will see that God’s sovereignty over time gives us the freedom to enjoy His good gifts and trust in His eternal works.

As 2020 comes to a close, we look back on the year and learn to lament from Psalm 13.

In our final Advent text, we see that God's eternal plan was that Christ would live a sinless life, die a substitutionary death, and eternally rule and reign as king so that we would discover the true heart of Christmas: the attitude of Christ.

In the opening verse of Hebrews, we see that God's supreme word and Son give us confidence, assurance, and hope so we can encourage one another.
