Matɨyu 5:4

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but also very busy.  Come away for a few moments of rest and worship that will sustain you throughout the merry labors of the season. Based on the book Unwrapping the Names of Jesus: An Advent Devotional , this 5-day devotional reading plan will guide you to receive Jesus’ rest this Christmas by taking moments to remember His goodness, express your neediness, seek His stillness, and trust His faithfulness.

En el principi, Déu habitava amb l'ésser humà. La relació era estreta, directa, sense intermediaris i sense impediments. Tot es va espatllar per causa del pecat, ens extraviem, ens allunyem de casa, però llavors, arriba Ell. Jesús ve a portar llum a la nostra vida, ens acosta de nou al Pare. Ara Déu està amb nosaltres, és Emmanuel.

We’re all chasing something. Usually something just out of reach—a better job, a more comfortable home, a perfect family, the approval of others. But isn’t this tiring? Is there a better way? Find out in this new Life.Church Bible Plan, accompanying Pastor Craig Groeschel’s message series, Chasing Carrots.

In the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:2–12), Jesus urges us to set ourselves apart from the world, living in a counterculture with a new identity rooted in him. The Upside Down Kingdom examines this counterintuitive wisdom and explores its relevance for today.
