Advent
Advent // Peace
The holiday season can be anything but peaceful. There is so much to do: decorations, shopping, travel, cards, desserts, kids and more. And, yet Jesus came so that we could experience real peace. And, isn’t this what we all want? Peace with God, peace with others and peace in the deepest parts of our own heart. True peace comes in Christ Jesus alone. Will you experience peace in Jesus this year? Jesus is the “Prince of Peace.”

Advent // Hope
Advent is the waiting - the preparing our hearts for Jesus. We celebrate the first coming of Jesus at Christmas, and we prepare our hearts for His Second Coming. The entire Old Testament was pointing God’s people to our Blessed Hope, Jesus. Jesus came to bring salvation to both the Jews and the Gentiles - to all who are far off from God. There are more prophecies about Jesus’ Second Coming than even His first coming. Our hope is in Jesus today. When Jesus returns He will make all things right. But, until then, we wait in expectation and hope. Come, Lord Jesus!

Generous Living // Stories of Thanksgiving
Happy Thanksgiving! We all have so much for which to be thankful. The third key in Generous Living is to “give thanks in all circumstances.” This doesn’t say “for” all circumstances because we live in a broken world because of sin, but it does say “in” all circumstances because our God is greater. We have a Savior who died for us on a cross so that we could have eternal life with God. We are loved and forever adopted into His family by the grace of Christ. Let’s truly be thankful this Thanksgiving and let’s be generous. God so loved that He gave, and so can we.

Generous Living // Pray Continually
Prayer is a continuous, transformative conversation with God that reflects trust and devotion. It encompasses key elements such as being present, speaking, openness, listening, and spiritual growth. Unlike ordinary conversations, prayer involves a dialogue with someone who understands and loves us deeply. A life of prayer leads to holiness. It brings confidence rooted in faith and cultivates generosity by sharpening our awareness of God and compassion for others.

Generous Living // Rejoice Always
God wants us to experience Generous Living. The most famous verse in the Bible says, “For God so loved the world that He gave…” John 3:16. Therefore, we are most like God when we love and when we give. The first key to Generous Living is to rejoice always. This is a true mark of spiritual depth and maturity. Jesus was full of joy and there will be rejoicing in Heaven. When we are grateful, we rejoice. Let’s learn to rejoice always as we grow to be like Jesus.

Revival
Revival // Purpose
God calls His people to Revival. Revival is a gift from God to draw His people back to His heart. The purpose of Revival is to reignite the fire in His Church and His people. As Christ-followers, we will face challenges and even persecution. In those times we are called to be bold. We are called to obey God rather than man. We can never forget that God is in control - God is Sovereign over all. May this Revival call us all to deeper devotion and boldness in Jesus.
