There is so much work to be done! The closer we get to Christmas, the greater the pressure we face. Are the things we are working so hard for... do they really matter? Be ready to put in the work for things that really do matter!

At this frantic time of year, to have one more demand on your time would be devastating. The call to repentance isn't a demand. It's a gracious invitation to set down your work to make way for Christ's work. Rooted in that repentant rest, we can fully enjoy a real Christmas.

Key thought: Repentance is a simple process, but hard work.

Key thought: Rest in God's grace, not your performance.
