Christmas: The Divine Disruption Part 3
In the last two weeks, we’ve dived into how Christmas is a “divine disruption” in history and in our lives.
In weeks one and two, we looked at the truths:
Christmas is God’s intervention in our story of rebellion
and
Christmas is God’s invitation to repentance and relationship
Today, we’re wrapping up the series with the third truth:
Christmas is God ...

Advent Devotional (Week 3): Amazing Love, How Can It Be?
As we start week three of Advent this Sunday, December 17th, we're going to dwell on the topic of love.
Honestly, of the four themes of hope, peace, joy, and love that we've dived into in our Advent devotional, I was most intimidated about writing about love! I know, weird, right? But God's love is infinite ...

A Christmas Lesson From A Coffee Shop
The Toffee Crunch Mocha Latte called my name.
I deliberated over the other options.
The americano with a splash of milk. Way fewer calories.
The cappuccino with a foamy heart. Way more sensible.

But the Toffee Crunch Mocha Latte was just more… holiday-y. This is the season to indulge, they say. So ...
A Christmas “Activity” You Won’t Want To Miss

At least that’s what a recent poll reveals.
An annual survey by Gallup suggests that women, on average worldwide, have been getting angrier over the past 10 years. In 2012 both genders reported anger and stress at similar levels. But more recently, it was found that women were angrier—by six percentage points. The ...
