The Depths of God’s Love
The depth of His love knows no bounds. It reached all the way down to our broken world in the form of a child. It stretched into the darkness and silence of the tomb. It mounts up into heaven where God is preparing a place for us.
Heaven Came Down

Immanuel, God With Us
We need a God who stays right beside us through the good and the bad, in every blessing and every heartache, through every season and in every second of the day, through every valley and on every mountaintop.

We need a God who isn’t stingy but One who pours out His mercies and His grace upon us every morning, who piles good things into our laps, and advocates for us before the throne of God. Most of all, we need a God who forgives our sins, wipes the slate clean, restores our fellowship with Him, and offers us eternal life.

The Gift of Peace
Peace on earth – this is what the angels promised that very first Christmas. Peace with God and peace within. Merry Christmas, my friends.
