The Bible gives us permission to get a “sneak peek” at what the Savior, Jesus would be like through introducing us to forerunners (types) like Moses. When you see Moses, a child drawn out of obscurity and used to deliver a multitude of people from slavery… it is just a glimpse of what Jesus would do for the whole world! #whatchildisthis #childoffreedom #followJesus #Advent2018

Answering the question, “What Child Is This” from the classic Christmas carol has powerful implications. Answer it correctly and find life, joy and peace. Answer it incorrectly and remain exhausted, discouraged and without real hope. This is Child is… The Child of Promise! #whatchildisthis #Advent2018 #childofpromise

There is a longing for peace in every human heart. Every corner of our world yearns for peace and yet grasping and holding onto peace is illusive. Peace can be found! It is found in the in the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ. Call on him and ask for it personally, communally and globally. #peaceinourtime #esther #differencemaker

Honor is a gift that is both personal and potent. For the Christian, honor may be delayed in this life but because of Jesus it will never be denied. Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God and at the proper time he will exalt (honor) you. #honorbound #Esther #differencemaker

Difference Makers must be humble and wise. Only the Holy Spirit working through the life of a follower of Jesus can bring true humility and wisdom. Pride and idolatry have no place in the life of a Difference Maker. Let Jesus change you! #Esther #DifferenceMaker

Following Jesus will require Courage and Bravery that only Jesus himself can give. Many times Jesus will raise up leaders by allowing them to go through difficult circumstances. We don’t love the hurt and the hardship but we love a Brave Difference Maker. #Esther #DifferenceMaker

Heroes & Villains are not just found in comic books and on the silver screen. Our lives are effected every day by those who value life and truth vs. those who only value themselves and their selfish agenda. Truth: Jesus is calling his followers to be Holy Spirit empowered heroes right where he has placed them. #BeADifferenceMaker

The world is captivated by “Beautiful People”… Actors, Actresses, Musicians and Artists have a way of capturing our attention. Queen Esther reveals to us that Beauty is given from the Lord. Real Beauty is not external; rather, it the transformation of people who have had the “ugliness” of sin removed in order to reflect the Savior. #Esther #DifferenceMaker

When the “Rug gets pulled out” from under us in life… we will need some Difference Makers by our side. Take comfort that the Ultimate Difference Maker (Jesus, King of Heaven) has promised that he will never leave us nor forsake us. #Esther #Differencemaker

The world is desperate for positive “Difference Makers”! The ultimate Difference Maker was Jesus, the Son of God who entered into history to offer forgiveness, hope and life to flawed people. We all need Difference Makers in our lives and the Holy Spirit can help us to become Difference Makers for others. #Esther #DifferenceMaker
