Month: November 2022

Christmas is coming. And we will celebrate God coming as a baby. But there is a bigger story.

There’s more than a manger.

There will be a day when Jesus will return, and the earth will be fully restored to all that God intended.

It’s a beautiful hope to be reminded of at Christmas time.

When hope goes, we die. Zechariah wanted the people to know that they had a future that would be good.

That hope is really important when we face hard times.

This year we have seen the awful consequences of war in Europe. How do we continue to pray and hope for peace, when some seem to push for war?

Zechariah could see a king coming who would bring peace, not by force but through humility.

Jesus walked in those very footsteps.

He still does.

What’s God’s picture of prosperity? What does blessing look like for a nation? What will life be like when Jesus, the King, returns? How do we live this out in practice ahead of that day?
