NEED

What do I need?

Are you willing to trust that a baby shows up in a manger in order to save you from your sin?

Why is Christmas Merry?

God I need you. I need you to forgive me. I need your help. I can’t do this life on my own and by myself any longer. I need your help in every part of my life. God, I need you. I choose today to trust you and I give you my life. Please forgive me of my sin and the pain I’ve caused. Help me to trust you enough to follow you today and tomorrow and every day you give me. I pray this in the name of my savior, Jesus. Amen

He is Coming!

Extraordinarily Ordinary

December 15, 2024 • Charley Carpenter • Luke 1:26–55

Reflection Questions: What areas of your life are you working to make changes on the outside that you need to let God transform from the inside? How will you, in the midst of your ordinary life, commit to being part of God’s extraordinary story? Who will you care enough about to invite them into what God is doing this Christmas?

Zechariah - Anticipation

December 8, 2024 • Charley Carpenter • Luke 1:1–18, Luke 1:67–68, Luke 1:57–66, Luke 1:19–20, Luke 1:21–25

What will your response to God be? Righteous in the sight of God. What prayer have you been praying that you have given up on? Have you surrendered to what God is doing behind the story and beyond what you can see? Will today be the day you speak faith over your doubt? Father in Heaven, I believe that you love me. That in your great mercy, you sent your Son, Jesus, to pay the price for my sin by dying on the cross. I confess that I have sinned against you and I trust Jesus for the forgiveness of my sins. I commit to trust you enough to follow you as Lord of my life and speak faith over my doubt. Help me to live for you. In Jesus name, Amen.
