Before he breathed his last, Jesus declared, "It is finished"—not in defeat, but in victory. In his final hour, he fulfilled the Scriptures and paid our infinite moral debt by taking the wrath we deserved so we could be reconciled to the Father. Simeon’s message reminds us that through Christ’s suffering and sacrifice, we're invited into abundant life—now and forever.

Before nails pierced his hands, Jesus prayed for you. He lifted his eyes to heaven and asked the Father for glory—not just for himself, but to share it with us. Mark’s message unpacks the hope Jesus’ final prayer offers for our unity, transformation, and eternal future.

What if your sorrow isn’t the end of the story—but the beginning of unshakable joy? As Jesus prepared his disciples for his death, he promised their deep confusion and sorrow would be transformed into lasting joy through his resurrection. That same joy is available to us now, even in the midst of suffering.

Our battles aren’t just physical—they’re spiritual. Jesus knew we couldn’t fight them alone, so he promised the Holy Spirit to guide, convict, and strengthen us in a world that tries to pull us away from him.

We devote about 4% of our lives to our faith—how do we live in the other 96%? Jesus doesn’t want to be connected to you only on Sundays, but in every moment. Learn how to remain in him daily, even in the mundane, the boring, and the difficult seasons of life.

Lent is a season of reflection, repentance, and renewal, inviting us to slow down and consider the weight of Christ’s sacrifice. Just as Advent leads to the light of the incarnation, Lent leads to the darkness of the cross. This journey of preparation deepens our understanding of Christ’s sacrifice, so that when Resurrection Sunday comes, our joy is even greater.

As we start the New Year, let’s focus on building habits that lead us toward holiness and happiness in Jesus. This week, we’ll dive into scripture together, reflect on the importance of personal worship through God’s Word and prayer, and take a practical step forward.

Join us as we intentionally establish daily practices that deepen our relationship with Christ and shape our lives for His glory!
