Humans desire belonging. God fulfills our longing by adopting us as His children. Ancient adoption practices shed light on our identity in God’s family.

Truth: God forgave us long before we forgave ourselves. Live free from guilt and shame—Jesus carried that on the cross. Christ doesn’t condemn; He forgives.

Every detail of scripture has meaning. Every word carefully chosen. The shepherds were intentionally chosen, too, to recognize the Lamb of God.

I used to think being good would earn God’s love. Good works gain God’s grace, right? No, Jesus prioritizes adoration over action. Loving others is secondary.

Do you worry about others’ opinions when you show God gratitude with arms raised? True worship flows from the heart. This woman worships Jesus with abandon.

Christians are like pumpkins, full of slimy seeds to clean out so God’s light can shine through our smiling faces. We’re transformed and filled w/ the Spirit.

Do you wish God would speak to you? He will, but His voice might not ‘sound’ like what you expect. Let’s learn to recognize God’s voice.

Biblical figures, including Jesus, fell prostrate in worship. Today, we bow our heads in reverence? Yom Kippur reminds us to show humility before His Holiness.

Repentance once caused fear, seeming like a threat: Repent or else! But Rosh Hashanah presents repentance as an invitation to return home to God’s loving arms.

Our decisions are based on what will make us happy. But true joy and fulfillment is only found in Jesus. We’re freed from guilt & shame and find joy in love.
