John 4:7-15
While this time of year feeds individual materialism, the ‘reason for the season’ provides a gift as well. Jesus sought out people to whom He could give this gift. He doesn’t care about cultural, social, or moral barriers; He only cares about faith.

Matthew 1:18-25
Our culture and society desperately needs an influx of righteous leadership from men, generally, and fathers, specifically. Joseph gives us an incredible example of true righteousness by understanding intent of the law instead of just judging others by the law.

What is the joy of Christmas supposed to be rooted in? Of course, true joy can only be found in Christ. And if true joy is found only in Christ, we must possess a full view of the Christ whom we attach Christmas to.

Psalm 50
God wants our obedience to His Laws and commands but He wants that obedience to come from a heart that is truly grateful for what He has done for us. God is Glorified by the gratitude and thanksgiving of a pure heart; a heart that is content in Him and what He has given to us.

Ephesians 3:14-21
Paul knows that the Ephesians desperately needed the Spirt of God to provide spiritual strength for them to endure and persevere. A life lived as “ministers of the gospel” in a dark and broken world is not something that we can do on our own power. We need Christ’s resources for Christ’s work.

1 Kings 19:1-16
God used Elijah to encourage the people of Israel to come back to God. He then demonstrated His awesome power through Elijah through many miracles, but Elijah allowed fear to rule over him. This resulted in Elijah losing his position and anointing as the prophet of God. How do we properly use our strengths for God’s service and how do we keep from losing that position as Elijah did? Falling to fear in lack of faith is a bad starting point that can lead down a losing path. Have faith! Take courage!
