What do you do when you eat a great meal? Or when you receive a great gift? What about when you get a promotion? Or buy a new car? Chances are that when something good happens to you, you want to tell others about it. But what if you saw the most fantastic thing of all? What would you do next?
The Cover of Darkness
Sometimes life can feel dark. Bills pile up, relationships are broken, loved ones leave us, natural disasters, economic crisis, it can all be so overwhelming. It can feel like Darkness is covering us. Sometimes we need to be reminded that when it feels like darkness covers, God is with us and his light can not be extinguished.
It Comes From Within
Sometimes Christmas can get tangled with good things that were never intended to be bad. Take gifts, for example, to give gifts is a great thing, and we all love to get gifts. But sometimes what is good can shift and we can become selfish, or ungrateful. When we are thinking just about ourselves and what we want we tangle Christmas into something it was never meant to be.
Do You See What's Right in Front of You?
Christmas isn’t an abstract holiday or idea; Jesus came to earth (as a human) in order to reconcile us to God. We can rejoice because the God who is with us, came to save us.

Navigating Our Relationships
God invites us to care for all the gifts He gives us, from our finances, to our abilities, to our relationships. God provides us with the gift of being in relationship with other people.
So how do we steward that gift from God? How do we honour and reflect God in how we interact with the various relationships we have? Jesus gives us a great insight into how to have meaningful and life-giving relationships with others.
