Scripture to read: Luke 2:8-20 Romans 10:14-15 Reflection: How did you first hear the gospel? Who told you, and how did you respond? God does not need messengers to communicate His gospel.

What promises of God are you waiting to see fulfilled? How does the perfect fulfillment of God’s promise to send the Messiah encourage your confidence in His f...
