We've turn the nativity into a nice sweet moment of peace and calm. It probably wasn't all "calm and bright." It was probably chaotic and confusing but God was present, even orchestrating things exactly how He needed them to be.

If there is a light then there is a darkness. The light must have an answer for the darkness.

Ever felt like you weren't "getting" faith? Like it seems to be working for everyone else but you? Like others were growing in their understanding, getting answers to prayer and experiencing contentment...but not you? John has something to say. We'll be exploring John 1 and the experience of Jesus

As we end our series on what God has next for our church. We discuss today how our expectation for what God can do for us, is often different than the reality of what God is actually doing

At our core, we want to do the right thing, but the right thing often requires sacrifice, perseverance, or humility. It's MUCH easier to focus on good but lesser things that don't require as much. Jesus has something to say about that.

In Micah 6:6-8 God speaks of "little things" like justice, mercy, and walking humbly with God. Jesus refers to this passage in Matthew 23:23 and lets us know that little things become big things.

With everyone he encountered, Jesus had a "next." Something to start, to stop, to go deeper, to patiently wait...but there was always a next. Most of the time we are well aware of what God expects of us next, we just struggle to actually do it.
