We can be passionate disciples who are worthy of being models by submitting to the control of God's Holy Spirit.

A genuine disciple of Christ serves God and others, using our gifts and abilities given to us by our Lord.

We can demonstrate our desire to be a genuine disciple of Christ as we seek to discern and follow the will of God.

Our Lord calls us to desire more of His presence which can only happen when we are willing to offer Him more of our lives.

Jesus will be famous in our world when we act on the instruction he left for us.

We are called to worship God with our lives in a manner that is defined by Jesus.

We must fulfill the command to love God which is demonstrated in our love for others.

God is clear in His primary strategy for making passionate disciples; we must just step out and get involved.

When we are spiritually wandering, or are in a season where we are struggling to find purpose, clarity, or meaning, we can learn from Christ's time in the wilderness.

All our celebration of this season is in vain unless we choose to receive the miracle of the gift left for us in that manger. And they called his Name Emmanuel.
