Advent allows us to recover during this four-week journey. It begins four Sundays before Christmas all the way up to Christmas. It lets us breath in those moments of faithfulness and helps us recognize that God is working.

If our worship isn't visible, comprehensive and extravagant, the gospel we heard must have been tiny, empty and cheap.

Yet, Jesus is selfless in the way He gives His life away for you. So if your gaze is on Him, you will treat others as He is treating you.

Quit trying to do what I already know you can't do and let Christ do what only He can through you.

God's purposes and plans will not fail. Before you spend all your prayer time telling Him about yours, ask about His.

Don't dwell on your insufficiency, but dwell on God's all-sufficiency.

Hear Jesus as a family and serve Him. Care about people and love people.
