Mary blesses the Lord with a heart of gratitude, although her circumstances could've easily lead her to complain or live in fear and worry.

Mary's response when told she would bear the Son of God is an example of surrender and willingness for us all to learn from!

When an angel appeared to Zechariah telling him he would have a son, Zechariah doubted rather than believed. So he was struck mute! How often our doubts cause us to be mute. Let this message bolden you to proclaim what you believe - that Jesus is Lord.

There is nothing more certain than the story of Jesus. It is our foundation! Luke explains this to us at the very beginning of his gospel.

And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.

Hospitality is the incarnation of God's love poured out on us. When we are hospitable, we are showing the love of God to the world!

There is coming a day that our bodies will experience a physical resurrection and we will spend eternity in them worshipping Jesus. This is the hope we have!

We serve a generous God who laid down His life for us. That means we can be a grateful people and respond in generosity!

Contentment isn't something that comes easy, and even Paul himself admits that it is something you have to learn! But thanks be to God that He is where we can find our contentment.

On our last Sunday before moving to our new church home, Sean reminds us of what the peace of God brings us in a world that constantly shifts. We are standing on a firm foundation.
