Wonder - Advent 2019 (Page 5)
Christmas awakens our wonder—reminding us of the children we once were, and the mystery the world seemed to hold. Wonder meets us under a starry sky, in the hush of a quiet snowfall or the glow of glittering lights. It beckons from under decorated trees and across a family table.
Surprise, curiosity, and joy: can these gifts really last? What do they mean?
What will you find, if you follow the wonder?

It holds our attention. It can happen anywhere, and…

How can we navigate these turbulent seas and keep afloat without making a shipwreck of our faith? James the brother of Jesus gave some ancient wisdom to a group of Christians facing challenges that were not so unlike our…
True Belonging: Home Edition
If there’s one place we all should feel like we belong, it’s home, right? But feeling great about our home life doesn’t always come easily. Busy schedules, stressed relationships, past hurts, and even screen time can all eat away at our sense of connection with the people closest to us. So how do we build a more sustainable, more satisfying life with our loved ones at home? The Bible has some surprisingly relevant messages for the modern family dealing with the…
