(Luke 6:27-42 & Genesis 45:4-5) It can be easy for us to fight the people we see as our enemies, but Jesus proposed a different way of fighting. See how the world's way doesn't really make it better, but, by getting a log out of our own eyes, we could (Conflict 4/4).

(Matthew 18:15-35 & Leviticus 19:17-18) It never feels good to be told we are wrong, but maybe it can present an opportunity for a better world. Jesus lays out for us clear cut steps for working through conflict but its probably not what you would expect! (conflict 3/4)

(Isaiah 6:1-13 & Luke 18:9-14) Conflict might seem like something to avoid. In fact, many work hard to stay away from conflict, but that can backfire tremendously. The prophet Isaiah offers a very different vision for dealing with conflict and it has everything to do with failure (Conflict 2/4).

(Jeremiah 1:4-19 & Romans 12:14-18) Some people seem to thrive on conflict. The prophet Jeremiah lived at one of the most tumultuous times in history, and, even though he didn't want to be in conflict, he found a way to navigate it. How can you do that, too? (Conflict 1/4).

(1 Corinthians 12:12-31 & Nehemiah 8:5-10) Creation has animals and people that are a blessing, but sometimes we don't feel quite so blessed.

(Exodues 19:9-20 & Luke 17:18-20) Mountains can draw us to them for their sheer size and power, but they've always had a religious draw, too. See why the mountain top is one of the most important experiences of your life (All of Creation 3/4).

(Luke 3:15-22 & Job 41:1-11) The ocean is teeming with life, but not all of it feels safe. Consider the spiritual side of water and why Jesus, himself, was baptized with water (All of Creation 2/4).

(Matthew 2:1-12 & Isaiah 60:1-6) Peter Pan reminds us that many people feel lost, even as they seek the light. See how Jesus responded to the lost and consider how you can love all of creation in this new year (All of Creation 1/4).

(Luke 2:1, 3-20 & Matthew 2:1-2, 7-10) Christmas fills us to brimming with senses, from sight to sounds, tastes and smells, but there's more to it than that! Discover even more of what the birth of Jesus means for Christmas and every day of your life.

(Luke 7:11-17 & 1 Kings 17:20-24) Touch can be such an important sense, but do we use it the right way? See how Jesus used his senses, and especially touch to change the world (Experiencing Christmas 4/4).
