We look at how to experience the true awe and power of God in our worship.

David's journey from shepherd to king holds countercultural leadership lessons for us today. We look at how challenges allow us to let God slowly develop our leadership, allow others to promote us, grieve losses well, seek generational impact, and constantly listen to God's guidance. As culture declines, God wants to renew the Church. Are we open to God's deep work in us? Will we lay down self-promotion and listen to the Spirit?

This week, we reflect deeply on God's perfect, self-sacrificing love displayed in Jesus' birth. Though He is all-powerful, He entered our broken world in the most intimate way to bring light, set us free from sin and shame, and restore true intimacy with Him. Experience afresh His love, redemption, and desire for closeness this Christmas. Find out more at http://www.redeem.church

This week, we look at the Gospel of Luke when the angel Gabriel appears with surprising news. We see that Mary ponders his words, discerning their meaning. This purposeful process helps align her will with God's, conceiving Jesus in her womb. We too can follow Mary’s example through daily prayer, which provides the best opportunity to ponder God's promises and direction for our lives. Yet busyness often blocks our ability to truly listen, discern, and understand what God is saying. By regularly setting aside time to ask, seek, and pray, pondering anchors us amidst the waves of life to hear God’s voice and Spirit, keeping us alert and ready for His return.

This week, we reflect on God's faithfulness through the birth of John the Baptist. Though Zechariah and Elizabeth faced infertility in old age, God brought forth new life as part of His divine plan. Despite doubts, God acted through willing participants to fulfill His promises. As we celebrate Jesus' birth, we too are called to act in God's story, anticipating greater things yet to come.

During the holidays, it's easy to get caught up in materialism, busyness, and the pressures to have the perfect celebration. But we need to fight against letting the noise of the world shape us. Instead, we must simplify - our space, pace, and gaze - to stay focused on what matters most: loving God and loving others. The Christmas story shows that God uses the humble, the overlooked, and the simple. So this year, be intentional about what influences you. Limit distractions and make room for growing spiritually. Stay centered on Christ by embracing simplicity in a complex world. Let's reflect the servant-hearted humility of Jesus. Find out more at http://www.redeem.church
