His Final Steps Lead to a Tomb
With months left before he will go to the cross, every step Jesus takes he takes with purpose. What comfort we receive when our Lord's final steps lead to a tomb.
Yes, God Really Has Said
When we are seemingly under a constant barrage of lies, we take comfort in the one who has defeated the father of lies, the Devil. In Jesus, standing on the truth of God's Word can say the one word that will fell the serpent, "liar!"
The Greatest Compassion for the Greatest Sinner
The more we see the true load of our sins the more we see the Lord's compassion.

In this world we deal with "incoming" constantly. We are under pressure and feeling the squeeze; therefore, we need to have a safe and secure refuge, in the hand of the Lord.
Together (for more than) the Holidays
We were created to be together. We crave that togetherness. Saint Paul tells Christians that the togetherness we crave is one of the gifts God gives through Christ. Glory to the God of hope who gives us complete joy and peace!
The Holiday Display We Need
No preparation we make for Christmas is as important as this, the preparation of our hearts and lives. It is important for us in this life and for the life to come and for everyone around us.
The Only Way Thanksgiving Makes Sense
We cannot make ourselves feel thankful, but by God's grace we can live in thankfulness every day. Only by God's grace can Thanksgiving make any sense.

Even as it gets harder and harder to know who to believe, Jesus' words never fail. When he speaks, we believe!
God Has Visited His People
Jesus did the amazing. He brought weeping to an end, and filled the people with awe and fear. What else can we conclude but God has visited his people with his grace.
