Generosity starts with a simple choice and aligns us with the faith of the early church. It’s not just about what we give, but also about receiving and prioritizing worship. True generosity, the kind that makes you happy, is a sign of spiritual maturity. If you’re giving out of obligation or fear, you’re missing the point. Give from a place of joy and trust, not anxiety. Generosity should come from the heart, not worry.

True transformation happens when we come to God with an unveiled face—no pride, no fear, no hidden struggles. When we’re open and honest with Him, we start to behold His glory, and we’re changed from one degree of glory to another. The more we gaze upon Jesus without distractions, the more we become like Him. What will we see when we truly see Jesus? First, best, and all. This revelation will change everything in your life.

Growth takes work—physically, spiritually, emotionally. Just like plants need care to thrive, so do we. We need to grow, to dig deep, and sometimes do the hard work of clearing the rocks and roots in our lives. It’s messy, but it’s worth it. God wants us to flourish, to be transformed into His image, step by step. Are you ready to do the work?

Everything good starts in the presence of God. Whether you’re gathered in church, listening to a sermon, or quietly seeking His face, it’s in His presence where transformation, guidance, mercy, and empowerment unfold. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you, healing and sustaining your soul with His peace and strength for the journey ahead.

Seeking God isn’t just about tears and worship—it’s about engaging all our senses, setting aside time, thoughts, and ourselves to consecrate our lives to Him. As we step forward together, we’re declaring our desire to know His presence and His will. It’s time to seek Him with everything we are.

We need Christmas because the world is broken, filled with people searching for something to make them feel whole. The peace of God—the peace that surpasses understanding—is the only thing that can bring true completeness, and that peace comes through union with our Creator. We all ask ourselves, Why am I here? What’s my purpose? We collect things, go through the motions, but none of it fills the emptiness. True fulfillment is found in returning to our source, the One who gives us meaning and purpose.

What caused you to shift your relationship with God? Remember that time when everything felt aligned—Jesus first, joy, prayer, and godliness? But then, something changed. What was it? What knocked you out of alignment?

I’m cultivating something in your life that will help you later—drawing closer to God and finding true joy. When you connect with this, everything changes. Your approach to parenting shifts, your job takes on new meaning, and the way you interact with others transforms. It’s not about just showing up to punch the clock or get through the day; it’s about serving people in whatever role you have. Whether you’re answering calls, working in a restaurant, or dealing with customers, you’re there to serve. When you live with the mindset of service for Christ, you start to spill joy and purpose into everything you do. This change in perspective brings meaning to your work and relationships. So, ask yourself: where do I need to start? Do I need to get right with God, learn to love myself, and live a life of purpose? You can take that first step today toward a life of joy and service.

Sometimes what we think we want isn’t what’s best for us. Trust that something better is on the way, and that God’s plan is always for our good. Staying grounded in His Word opens our eyes to the obstacles He places in our path, protecting us from harm and guiding us through what our limited vision cannot see..

Doing ordinary, obedient tasks can become spiritually meaningful when we dedicate them to God. What may seem mundane in everyday life can take on eternal significance when approached with faith and a heart aligned with His will. Through this, God transforms simple acts into opportunities for growth, service, and deeper connection with Him.
