2020 has been quite a year. We’ve all faced adversity one way or another. We wonder where God is during all of this chaos. We can get angry and frustrated, even question our faith at certain times. But we must remember, the birth of Jesus seemed chaotic and messy, but yet it was God's plan all along. Sometimes, things in our lives are out of our control. But we must put our faith in the God who is never surprised but seemingly unexpected circumstances. We must find peace in His love and mercy. We can rest knowing that God is in control no matter the situation.

The wonderful cross. No emblem is as powerful. A symbol composed of two lines, one vertical and one horizontal. So seemingly simplistic in its design it represents an intersection that in truth is more complex than we could conceive. The wonderful cross, the place where God and humanity were brought together in Jesus Christ, was the setting where the world was forever changed. The wonderful cross, an instrument of torture that became a place of peace. The wonderful cross, an emblem of death that became the means to eternal life. The wonderful cross, where Jesus willingly laid down His life for you and me, forever showing God's great love and justice. The wonderful cross, while appearing to be the place of defeat, became the symbol of the greatest victory.

What does the Bible define as “The Church”? Over the years, has the meaning of church been altered? And does the world view the church as a negative, polarized community that they want no part of? The church is more than just walls, a building, pews, and a pulpit. The Bible teaches us that each of us makes up the church. That we are to serve and love one another. That we should be a unified front for love, grace, forgiveness, and selflessness. How do we go about becoming the church that the Bible calls us to be?
