Hope for Legacy (Johnson)

The website living-on- purpose.net defines a person’s personal legacy as, “Your Personal Legacy is more than simply a statement of how you wish to be remembered after you pass on. It is something that enriches your life and reveals you and what your life is about to your family, friends, and your community. ... Live a life that serves as an example of what an exceptional life can look like.” The reason I share that with you is because I feel more and more people are worried about what their pers...

Hope for Purpose Midweek (Phillips)

The definition for purpose is “the reason for which something is done or created or for which something exists.” It says in Luke 2 that the Shepherds were doing what Shepherds do.

It was while they were doing what they felt they were supposed to do that God showed them what they were made to do. In a powerful moment of time the Shepherds saw that there was something far greater than themselves and th...

Hope for Joy (Meyer)

This week we are brought into a moment of incredible joy for Mary and Elizabeth. On the outside you might think it is because they are both pregnant at the same time, or maybe because they haven’t seen each other in a long time but when we read the Magnificat, we realize the source of their joy is much deeper than that. Mary & Elizabeth realize they are part of God’s plan to bring renewal to their people. They realize God is up to something and they have been graced to be a part of it. This ...

Hope for Freedom Midweek (Johnson)

This week we see Jesus walk into a hopeless situation bringing a freedom that no one thought possible. Scripture tells us that this man was controlled by powers outside himself, lived amongst the darkness, was in constant torment, and caused many people a lot of pain. Now we know this man was possessed by many demons, but when you speak to people who have suffered under the control of addictions, depression, and oppressions describe those situations in much the same way. There are many in our co...
