The fruit of the spirit is not a checklist to work through. It is the flourishing of a heart set free by the good news of grace.

In Christ, we receive the promise of answered prayers. God is a good Father who desires our persistence and expectation. His promises enable us to treat others as we would want to be treated.

The Lord wants to break into our normal rhythms of our life

Our prayers should be directed to God our Father, focused on his concerns, and filled with the needs only he can supply.

1 John 1:1-4 - Jesus, Our Gift Like No Other

Christmas' true gift is restoring the relationship between God and man.

God is faithful to deliver on his promises to his people.

The gospel of Mark invites us to know true peace with God at Christmas and throughout the year.
