Abundant Living Through Forgiveness
Paul, in effect, told his critics in Corinth, "I'm only human." For them, that was a liability. But, for Paul, these words were an affirmation of God's purpose for his life--and for ours. We are only human, but God uses human people like us to shine the very face of Jesus Christ into the world.

The Word Became Flesh and Dwelt Among Us: Joy-Filled
The third week of Advent is often dedicated to joy. And that is precisely what we want to talk about today. The heavenly joy that erupts when Jesus is born is connected to the heavenly joy that erupts when the lost sheep is found. This joy is essential to Jesus’s character, and he is a revelation of the divine character. This kind of joy is everywhere this time of year if we have eyes to see and ears to hear.

A World of Pressure, Jim Weaver
Everybody faces pressure in life--time pressure, and financial pressure, and work pressure, and maybe most of all, people pressure, the pressure that results from our interactions and relationships with other people. It’s been noted that the story we find in Mark 6:14-29 can be read as a case study in people pressure. Perhaps it can give us some insight today into the way that people pressure works in our lives and how we can live in a world of pressure."
