Often we live based on our feelings. James calls us to live by faith. 

To feel better we often speak evil towards others. Rather James calls us to use our words to serve our Savior and not ourselves.

We often have images that our etched on our minds and hearts. These images drive the decisions and direction our lives. Thus, what we look at reveal what we truly love, so we need to ensure we are looking at Christ.

Where do you turn when life is hard? Where you turn shows where you put your trust. Often, we turn to treasures and treaties rather than the one true Christ.

God desires to have fellowship with his people. This fellowship requires walking in the light and not the darkness. We can walk in the light through the forgiveness that Christ brings.

Most of screen our calls. Depending upon who calls, we decide whether we will answer. But when Jesus calls, we must be a people who always answer.

We get excited over the temporary promises that Christmas offers all the while Christ promises us true and lasting promises of joy. Turn to Jesus for true joy.

Can you use a little bit of good news? Christmas is all about the greatest good news we need to hear: the coming servant of God has set us free from bondage and given us eternal life with Him. 

We feel all sorts of pain in the political, social, mental, emotional, and societal spheres of our life. Fortunately the aim of Christmas is Christ coming to bring restoration to our pain.

We call for an ambulance or seek a doctor because something is broken and we need healing. Maybe you're here feeling broken, you feel hurting. Today, we're going to see the one who drives the ultimate ambulance, the ultimate healer, Jesus Christ. Christmas is about bringing restoration to our brokenness.
