We all face seasons when life feels uncertain, when the people and circumstances we have depended on slip away, and the future looks daunting. In those moments, we often try to find peace by forcing things to change. But lasting peace doesn’t come from getting life under control; it comes from knowing that Jesus holds our lives securely. We can endure today’s heartaches because our future is secure and our deepest hope rests in the One who will never abandon us. Even our darkest seasons will end, and sorrow will not have the final word!

Christmas Eve 2014
When we were children, most of us had things handed down to us. Perhaps we had clothes from an older sibling handed down to us, or toys they had outgrown. That first Christmas 2,000 years ago truly was a hand-me-down Christmas. God handed down His Son to a sinful world. Jesus humbled Himself and was made a little lower than the angels in order to come and save us. This Christmas, you may receive all the gifts you’ve ever wanted, but have you ever received the one Gift you really need?
