Do you long for a deeper, more meaningful Christmas celebration? This year, rediscover the gifts of HOPE, PEACE, JOY, and LOVE that God extends to all of us during this busy season.

Quante volte abbiamo affrontato l’argomento della “fede”, magari con amici, colleghi, in famiglia e poi scoprire che la nostra fede “solida”, davanti alle preoccupazioni della vita, risulta essere fragile. Sopraffatti dalle ansie e dalle paure, dovremmo imparare a prenderci una pausa e trovare rifugio in Dio, nostra forza e speranza. Dovremmo riflettere sulla Sua grandezza, protezione e lasciarci avvolgere dal Suo amore. Questo piano di lettura ci aiuterà ad accostarci a Dio con piena fiducia per ottenere soccorso al momento opportuno.

The opposite of mastery is mediocrity, and mediocrity is nothing less than a failure of love and a misrepresentation of the image of God. In this Plan, you’ll explore why Christians should have the highest standards of excellence in our work, what we should be looking for in our “one thing,” and how you can achieve mastery of your vocation for the glory of God and the good of others.
