"The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14)

Since the very beginning, God's dream has been to dwell with His creation— to walk with us, to speak with us, to share life with humanity.

During Advent, we remember the God of the universe who broke into the human story with a tangible, in-the-flesh presence—entering our world to rescue and restore us to this original vision of Immanuel, God with us.

In this series, we'll explore how Jesus brings hope, peace, joy, and love into the everyday places of our living, breathing lives. Through the practice of Immanuel Journaling, we will learn to recognize his nearness and listen for the ways we are invited to embody God's presence in the world.

This week, we considered the invitation to a kingdom joy that is relational, responsive, resilient, and reconciling.
