When the angel speaks to Mary, heaven collides with earth. The promised King arrives not through power, but through surrender. God’s eternal reign begins in an ordinary womb and an extraordinary act of grace.

God’s love has been shown and made manifest. The Savior has come and is here to meet you. There is a gift for you to receive today.

Isaiah prophesies the suffering servant who is Jesus. He will be rejected by many because we are not naturally drawn to God’s truth, goodness, and beauty.

God’s Christmas promise just after the first sin: there will be a Son who overcomes the serpent, “he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” So come let us adore him!

Where do you feel the pull to hide? God moves towards us , not to condemn, but to rescue and restore.

In a world full of tyrants and other situations outside our control, Jesus is born under a tyrant to be victorious over and overcome every factor outside of our control And as he overcomes all things, he is the prince of peace.

With great power comes great responsibility. With any measure of power comes a responsibility to steward it well.

Jesus enters the breadth of the human experience and redeems all of it. Jesus enters our family story, both messy and beautiful, and redeems all of it.

No gift, experience or accomplishment, no checking things of the list can give you the joy, peace, and fulfillment you were made for.
