The Advent season teaches us to make room for others at God's table, because of the peace for all brought to us in Christ.

The Advent season teaches us to make room for Christ and the hope that God has given us. (Isaiah 9:2, Isaiah 9:6-7)

From the fullness of our gratitude, we can pour out generosity. (Exodus 35:4–9; 36:1–7)

We are to offer thanks to God not only when wonderful things happen; instead, we are to give thanks in all circumstances. (1 Thessalonians 5:16–18)

Intentional gratitude is not a spontaneous feeling—it’s a spiritual discipline that reorients our hearts toward the grace of God and the person of Jesus Christ.

We will all stand before Jesus and give an account of how we have lived our lives.

When you have Jesus as your shepherd, you have comfort—no matter what you face.

The Good Shepherd provides for and sustains his sheep.

The presence of our Shepherd is the source of our security and peace.

True happiness will only be found when you humble yourself before God.
