• God Goes Ahead

    Can you imagine the moment of clarity that Joseph had when his brothers stood before him all those years later? When Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers none of them knew what the future would hold. And Joseph never questioned; he just accepted and served right where he was, even from prison. But God knew it all! He had placed Joseph right where he needed to be to become Governor over all the land of Egypt. As he is consoling his brothers and asking them not to be angry with themselves he tells them, “God has sent me ahead of you to keep you and your families alive…

  • The Gospel

    The gospel of Luke gives us the ability to learn about who Jesus is. The angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and said her son would be called the “Son of the Most High.” Another angel of the Lord told the shepherds that the baby was “the Savior, the Messiah, the Lord.” At the Temple, Simeon told Mary and Joseph that Jesus is a “light to reveal God to the nations.” Jesus Christ came to save ALL people; all the nations. He is a light to the entire world. Continue to celebrate this amazing truth! God loves you and sent his son Jesus to save you.

  • THE HEART OF MARY

    “So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in heart.” (Luke 2: 16-19) Can you imagine how Mary must have felt over these last months? To have an angel appear to you and state that you are a “chosen woman” and that you would conceive a child as a virgin? Later when Mary visits her cousin Elizabeth her…

  • THE PRAYER I STOPPED PRAYING

    Three years ago I left 17 years of religious platforms behind. As strange as it may sound, one thing I stopped doing was praying The Lord’s Prayer. It had become for me something I did out of ritual and rote memory. They were words that I just said to check a box at bedtime with my kids and to recite in church. I don’t think I ever one time stopped and really pondered on the words of this prayer. Reading the Bible each day is now the foundation of my day. I love waking up each morning and reading the words God gave us to live by. Several months ago…
