Hope

As we approach the Christmas season, let us intentionally choose to honor Christ in our festive celebrations, keeping our hearts and minds focused on the true spirit of this joyous occasion. Here, we delve into the transformative power of Christmas traditions, emphasizing the need to shift our focus from consumerism to deep spiritual intimacy with Jesus, the heart of the season.

Christmas Traditions: Honoring Christ in Festive Celebrations

What if you are a Christian and still feel somewhat joyless or lacking in hope? How does someone grow in hopefulness? There is no amount of high hand raising, focused believing, or even yoga with a goat that will bring what is needed to remedy this deep spiritual deficit. In this reading plan Cheri Strange explores five essential components from the book of Hebrews that work together to awaken hope. 

Awakening Hope

This seven day reflection on the significance of the Holy Cross in the Ancient Faith explores themes such as: the discovery of the Cross, its symbolism as the Tree of Life, its power in daily life, its role in liturgy and prayer, its victory over evil, its protective and healing properties, and its importance in spiritual warfare. The devotional combines biblical references, patristic writings, and Orthodox traditions to deepen our understanding and reverence for the Cross as taught in the Ancient Faith.

Feast of the Cross in the Ancient Faith

God wastes nothing (our life circumstances, trials, or past) but weaves everything together for His glory and our good. Scripture passages with their applications are like multi-colored and textured threads woven to create a tapestry of God’s Truth and purpose in our lives.

WEAVER - God Wastes Nothing but Weaves Everything for His Glory and Our Good

Most can survive on little food, water, shelter, clothing or even affection. But without hope - life can be unbearable. We hope to join Jesus in heaven one day. We hope that God hears our prayers. Join us in this Abide plan as we meditate and pray on how hope is the essence of the Christian faith.
