Love is transforming

We go to work, school and sleep like if there aren’t any problems in the world. The truth is, if we take one step out of our comfort, the world’s problems become evident. It’s easy to stay in our safe places, avoiding trouble, but that’s not what Jesus did. In love Jesus came into this world to lay his life down sacrificially in our place. This love is for us! This love arrived that first Christmas morning and continues to change our lives today.

Abound in Hope // Romans 15:13

December 26, 2021 • Lorenzo Elizondo • Romans 15:13

We often confuse relief with hope. Relief is a great thing, but it is temporary. Hope, however, is lasting and is what we hold to despite our circumstances. Jesus came to bring hope that stays true through all things. No matter what we face this new year or years to come, Jesus is on the throne and gives us abounding hope through the Holy Spirit.

Joy in our Discouragement // Luke 1:5-28

December 12, 2021 • Richard Cantu • Luke 1:5–28, Philippians 1:1–4

Christmas is all about joy! We are reminded of these three truths: joy breaks through our toughest and greatest times, joy comes in the morning and lastly, joy came to us by God through Jesus Christ.

Peace With God // Luke 2:8-16

December 5, 2021 • Nathan Elizondo • Luke 2:8–16, Matthew 11:28–30

Peace was delivered to us through Jesus that first Christmas morning. Jesus himself is peace, and he was born, lived, died and resurrected to bring us peace with God. Because Jesus is our peace, we can have a relationship with him knowing that his peace is bigger than our sins and all of our circumstances.
