Advent is, of course, a time to prepare. To prepare our homes, lives, and our hearts. Join us as we explore the Bible readings used by the Church to challenge, encourage, and help us prepare, not only to celebrate the incarnation but also the second coming of Christ.

Unshakable Hope - Strength

Do you struggle to find joy? Cornell University studied people’s emotions and learned the most joyful have learned to distinguish between being joyful “in spite of” and “if only.” There will always be challenges, but I pray these guided audio meditations from scripture will help you choose to be joyful “in spite of” by believing in the joy of God and paying it forward by giving it to others.

Living a Life of Joy

Kids often say funny things. In fact, as the old saying goes, “Kids say the darndest things!” They are great teachers and we can learn from the joy they bring to the world. Through the next five days, we’ll laugh together and learn about the joy that comes through knowing Jesus.

Kids Say The Darndest Things

Do you learn more effectively by hearing, feeling, or doing? I pray these meditations will help you reflect on how to come to know the love of God actively. Knowing God by vigorously giving and living as Christ gave and lived. Not only noticing the needs of others but energetically giving and loving. Living your life listening to God and playing an active role in being His chosen.

This promise is more than just a hopeful wish; it’s a promise from the ultimate Promise Keeper to His beloved children…He IS coming back. Let’s find out how this truth can change our lives as we cling to our hope of a better tomorrow – while living in present of today.
