John doesn’t ease us in gently—he opens his Gospel with poetry, theology, and the breathtaking claim that Jesus is the eternal Word who stepped into our world. As one of Jesus’s closest friends, he writes with the kind of awe that comes from being deeply loved and truly known. His whole purpose is to help us see Jesus clearly so we can decide what to do with that truth.

I usually roll my eyes at two‑part stories—why drag one plot into two movies? But Luke gets a free pass from me, because his Gospel and its sequel, Acts, give us a beautifully complete picture of Jesus’s mission and how it continued after His ascension. Luke’s careful investigation invites us into a story that’s both deeply personal and world‑changing.

If you’ve ever tried to sort out two conflicting kid‑stories after a playdate, you know how valuable an eyewitness can be. Mark’s Gospel does just that for us, gathering Peter’s firsthand memories so we can see Jesus clearly. When we’re unsure what to believe or how to understand him, Mark brings us right to the source.

I’ve learned this year that when my mind spirals, the best thing I can do is return to what I know is true. Matthew’s Gospel does just that, reaching back into the Old Testament to anchor us in the identity and mission of Jesus. When our hearts feel unsteady, Scripture has a way of steadying us with reminders of who God has always been.

New Year’s resolutions can feel exciting on January 1st and overwhelming by January 10th, but God meets us right where we are. As we build new habits—one small step at a time—there’s no better foundation than anchoring ourselves in the life and words of Jesus. If you’re wondering where to start in Scripture, the Gospels are a beautiful doorway in.

Were you the kid that wanted to open your presents before Christmas or birthday, or did you love the anticipation and surprise? No gift can really compare with an eternal life with God and that is what we’re waiting for. And God is just as eager for this day as we are!

Do you ever get the thought: Shouldn’t I have arrived by now? Like I should be good at this by now! It might be in your faith. I should be over that stupid sin by now. I should be even-tempered all the time, or reading my Bible every single day…We’re torn between our humanity and righteousness in Christ. I have some hope for you!

This week, we’ll be talking about how God is making all things new! Today, we’re going to get a little into psychology – specifically, the psychology of novelty. We are driven to seek new things, but here’s the cool thing – God designed us with that need… and fulfills it for us.
