Traditionally, Ephiphany is the season that begins after the 12 day of Christmas. The word refers to the moments of revelation and realization, where you see something clearly like the first time. Maybe that's what we need so this new year is more than just another year.

True peace isn't found in the absence of problems. True peace is found in the presence of God. Tonight we look closely at the Wonder of Advent, when God drew near to us in the person of Jesus.

The opposite of wonder is ego. A self-centered posture will block your ability to experience awe, while humility and curiosity will elevate your heart to discover wonder.

The traditional Christmas story gives us one of the secrets to rediscovering awe and wonder when it tells us the story of a mother and her sacred habits. Mary treasured memories in her heart.

Can you remember when the Christmas season was filled with childlike wonder and amazement? The coming of Jesus is no less spectacular, maybe we have shifted our perspective toward the familiar?

Here's a thought you might not want to think about: from the time your baby is born, you have less than 940 weeks until they leave to face the world!

What would it look like to have a courageous conversation with the person in the mirror? What action would you take? What truth would you hear? Sometimes, the greatest obstacle to your growth is yourself.

One of the greatest enemies of your connection in marriage is the slow drift toward entropy. Great relationships require care, intention, and courage if they are to thrive. Today we talk about the vision God had for marriage: interdependent oneness.

Often we think of courage in an extraordinary situation, but courage is most powerfully displayed in our everyday actions. That's where relationships are built and where connections are made: in the everyday. Join us as we explore the everyday example of Israel's greatest king that never was.

The Apostle Paul talked about the Holy Spirit as God's deposit on our promised inheritance, a gift from God guaranteeing what is to come. How can we accept this incredible gift, and how does the Spirit function in our lives?
