Why do we celebrate Christmas? It is more than the birth of Jesus. It is a celebration of God with us. It is the realization that God's love and faithfulness dwells among us. It is a sign that we are to carry that love and faithfulness to others. We have an awesome God who sent us an awesome Savior. He lives with us now!

We live in a world that tells us to take control, to plan for the future, and trust in our own abilities. But Christianity presents an alternate view, trust in God. Life may get in the way of our plans, but we will have the strength to survive and thrive because we trust the One who is really in control. We might not be in control, but God is.
God's will and our vision differ. Joseph was changed because of God's plan for his life. The threads of God's plan were laid long before Joseph was born and affect millions of people 2000 years after his death. How has God's plan affected you? How has it changed your life in ways unforeseen? ... See MoreSee Less

As Christmas approaches, it's time to ask the question. What do we expect from God? Do we want to follow Him? Or, do we want Him to fix us?
Have we confused faith with expectation? Faith puts God in charge. Expectation puts us in charge. Faith allows God to surprise us. Expectation does not.
As a part of preparing for Christmas, reflect on your expectations of the holidays. Are they realistic? Can you set aside your expectations so God can surprise you? ... See MoreSee Less
