Sunday Supernaturally: God is With Us
God is with us. That’s one of the great reminders that Christmas brings. God the Son became one of us so that He could be one with us. Whatever the situation, He's got your back. Merry Christmas!
Let’s Stay Out of the Ditch
Jesus said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Receiving is a good thing, it’s just not as good as giving! Therein lies the key to staying out of the ditch on both sides of the road. I want to avoid greed and covetousness, but I also don’t want to overcorrect and glorify lack.

Sunday Supernaturally
He’s Jesus, and we’re not. But He did say, “In that day you will ask in my name, and I do not say to you that I will ask the Father on your behalf; for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me and have believed that I came from God. (John 16:26-27 ESV)” Let’s try it out today.
Sunday Supernaturally: Presence on Purpose

Sunday Supernaturally: Called, Separated, Gathered
