The Christmas story in Luke ends with Mary treasuring things up in her heart. What was she treasuring, and how can that lend a deeper meaning to Christmas?

The Obedience of Joseph

Though there are no recorded words of Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, I believe there are profound lessons to be learned from his quiet, humble obedience.

In the Christmas story, the wisemen beautifully encapsulate and demonstrate what it means to be a Christian.

Currently Watching
In Luke 2, we see two people with two very different responses to the arrival of the Messiah the Innkeeper and Simeon. This week, we will ask what we can do to be more like Simeon and less like the Innkeeper who didnt make room.
