Jesus reminds us that we need to seek out the marginalized people all around us who are so easy to overlook, but whom He loves and died for.

When God empowers us with His Holy Spirit, He expects us to go and share Christ with those around us.

God expects us to be holy as He is holy and He provides the method to achieve that - Repentance.  He then, by His grace, gives us His Spirit to live by and led by the Spirit in holiness.

The only way we can "Be holy because God is holy," is through repentance.  What's that all about?  Why is that necessary? Why is it important? How do we do that? How serious do we have to be about it?

If we are called to be holy as God is holy, we must first understand the Holiness of God. Understanding the holiness of God, however, reveals just how unholy we are. What can we do?

We tend to seek God's blessings, His healing, His wisdom and all the "things" that God offers. Are we seeking the wrong thing?  We need to seek Jesus Himself.

What was so important about the announcement of a baby being born in Bethlehem that thousands of angels showed up as well as the very presence of God?

We know the story of Christmas and what took place there in Bethlehem.  But what was going through the mind of Jesus as He entered into our world...the night before Christmas?

If someone hurts us, do we really have to forgive them?  Is it really that important?

If we really love one another, we must approach each other in love when sin is evident.  How do we do that well?
