Life is full of unwanted transitions.  Illness. Unemployment. Foreclosure. Family Crisis.  We can find ourselves in a place of uncertainty, where life is not as it once was and the future is in question.   

In this series, we are looking at the Israelite’s transition through the desert and recognizing it as our own. This is our story. Through life’s most difficult transitions, it is our response that will determine whether our journey through the desert will result in deep, lasting growth or prove destructive to the soul. 

Grace is getting something great that you don’t deserve.

We all love to get something great, something that we don’t deserve. Whether it’s dessert after dinner, a gift from a loved one, a note from a spouse, a dozen cookies from a neighbor or a hug from a friend, life is full of these little gifts, these little graces.

As Christians, we’ve received greater grace than a handfull of sweets. God has given his grace to us through the life, death, burial, resurrection and continuing presenence of his own Son, Jesus.

God gave the greatest gift ever when he gave his son. Jesus is the gift we celebrate at Christmas. We examine how the Bible describes Jesus, the gift to you from God.
