Because of Jesus, we can walk in Newness of Life, guided by the Light of the World who shines in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it.

• Isaiah 42:1–9

New Year's Resolutions. Words of the Year. Why? So that someone will love you more? So that you will love yourself more? So that God will love you more? What if, instead, you answered that 'Why?' with a 'Because'? Because Jesus has set you free, you are free to make that resolution or have that word of the year?

• Isaiah 61:10-62:3

We all have good intentions. But are they Godly intentions. Joseph had good intentions to divorce Mary quietly. God intervened. Saul had good intentions to squelch those following Jesus. God intervened. Do you have good intentions that aren't Godly? Who might be able to walk alongside you and intervene on God's behalf?

• Isaiah 7:10-16

God keeps His promises. That's it. That's the text.

• Isaiah 11:1-10

Jesus tells us to stay awake - be ready for His return. Why? Because it is Jesus who we long for!

• Isaiah 2:1-5

Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing, Give thanks in all circumstances. Paul’s words seem doable when things are going well? But how can we rejoice and give thanks when life is hard and broken? Only Jesus.

• Deuteronomy 8:1-10

Everyone who hopes in Jesus purifies himself as He is pure. Where are you putting your hope? Is you hope galvanized in Jesus?

• Malachi 3:13-18

You are a Child of God NOW. And, there is something much greater awaiting you when Jesus returns to make all things new!

• Malachi 4:1-6

How deep the Father's love for us? How vast beyond all measure? The Father loves you so much that He sent His Son Jesus to die for you and rise again from the dead for the forgiveness of all of your sins!

• Revelation 7:9-17

According to the Scriptures Alone, you are saved by Grace Alone, through Faith Alone, in Christ Alone. But that doesn't mean that the Law is overthrown. Instead, we are called to uphold the Law, God's good, pleasing, and perfect Will.

• Revelation 14:6-7
