As we move through December, it's hard to contain our excitement. We sometimes use Advent calendars to count the days before we celebrate Jesus' birth. But can you imagine that instead of waiting days, we would have to wait one thousand years? The first Christmas had...

Here is a great acronym for you to remember Matthew 7:7-8 - "𝐀𝐬𝐤, and it will be given to you; 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐤, and you will find; 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐜𝐤, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened." It's...
