In Matthew 1, we hear the greatest reminder for this season... God is With Us. This is echoed in John Wesley's last words, The Best of All is...God is With Us

In Isaiah 35, we hear that amidst our brokenness, burnout, hurt, and guilt God provides a way for Revival, and as we are revived, we may REJOICE IN OUR REVIVAL 

In Romans 15 we hear the call to be united in Christ above anything else. In a day and a time where our world, and we as the body, are more divided than ever let us head this call. Let us seek to live at peace within our lives knowing God is in control and seek UNITY IN PEACE

In Isaiah 2:1-5 We hear of the promise that what has been and is do not have to be. As we enter into this season of Advent, we put our hope in God's call, desire, and will for us as a world, country, state, city, church and individuals 

As we hear, "Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's and give to God what is God's" it is a reminder that we are to be image bearers of God  

In Matthew 5, we hear the beginning of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount as Jesus calls us to live in this world but not to live the ways of this world. In Matthew 5:23-24 we hear the call to release the tether of the past, forgive, and move forward. Let us not allow our past to define us but look to the future that God has in store for us  

"People don't care how much you know till they know how much you care." This phrase still rings true.  In 1 Corinthians, we encounter what has become known as "The Love Chapter." We hear throughout this text that love is an action verb, one lived out and shown. That all the things we, as the church, do mean nothing if they are not rooted in love. So maybe we need to start living love and showing people how much we care. Let us, as a Church, leave a LEGACY OF LOVE 

In John 3:14-21 we hear the very familiar text of John 3:16, but surrounding this text, we hear a call to walk and live in the light. To allow the light of Christ to shine on, in and through us  

In Genesis 33, we hear about an epic wrestling match. Jacob is wrestling with who he has been and what he has done, and he is also wrestling with the man he wants the world to believe he is.   
In this text, we hear how God meets Jacob at the end of his rope, all alone in a dark night, and redeems him through his brokenness. God says you are called and created to be a victor through God's love and grace and to help others know that call as well
