UnexpectedSample

At the end of every week, we'll give you a challenge—something to try that might be outside your regular routine. Each challenge is designed to help you develop one important spiritual habit. This week, it's...

SPEND TIME WITH OTHERS

The people in our lives can have a big impact on our faith—and we can have a big impact on other people's faith too. But that doesn't happen by accident. Today's challenge is going to help you connect with at least one other person in a way that helps you (or maybe even both of you) grow!

For this challenge, celebrate the abundance of God's love by getting together with a group of friends to play a holiday-themed game of Bigger or Better. All you'll need is something small, like an ornament, and homes of friends or neighbors you can visit to make your trades.

What you'll do is say something like: We have this ornament. Would you trade me something bigger or better for it?

Then, take the item you received and try to swap it again with another person.

Set a time limit for yourselves and end with a party. If you feel like you can, use the time together to celebrate Jesus' unexpected gift.
