Even a single prayer can move heaven and change hearts. Let’s link together and intercede for one another this week. 💛 Drop your prayer requests below ⬇️ and let’s start praying!

Family, this week’s devotional is a powerful deep-dive into the heart of God’s grace — what it really means, how it shapes us, and why Christmas is the clearest picture of God extending Himself toward us in love. Inside this teaching, you’ll discover: ✨ How grace didn’t begin with Jesus’ birth — it began in the heart of the Father before time ✨ Why every part of your salvation, strength, and spiritual growth is by grace alone ✨ How grace teaches, trains, matures, and strengthens you ✨ The danger of receiving grace in vain ✨ And how to actually live in the abundance God freely gives It’s rich. It’s eye-opening. And it’s one of the most foundational teachings you’ll read all season. 📚 The full devotional is now available in the Classroom — ready for you to read, pray through, and grow from.

As believers, it’s easy to get caught up in lights, gifts, and traditions—but what’s really at the center of your celebration? The truth is, December 25th isn’t commanded in Scripture. The holiday itself is neutral. What matters is the heart behind it. Are we celebrating Jesus, or just following cultural norms? Are our actions rooted in gratitude and worship, or performance and comparison? This season is a chance to reflect: ✨ Keep Christ at the center—through prayer, Scripture, and worship. ✨ Let traditions point back to the gospel, not distract from it. ✨ Give generously and joyfully, not out of obligation. ✨ Encourage others in their own faith journey without judgment. 💬 Share in the comments one intentional thing you’re doing this season to keep your heart focused on Jesus. Let’s inspire each other to celebrate with freedom, not fear—and to let every tradition point back to the Savior. Because at the end of the day, it’s not the holiday that saves—it’s the heart that follows Christ. https://youtu.be/nrnpz562MHI?si=Vsr6k43VZd0b4a2c

It could be a conversation, a quiet moment, or even just the fact that you woke up this morning. 💬 Drop ONE thing you’re grateful for today in the comments. Let’s fill this space with gratitude and encouragement for each other! Remember: every small moment of thankfulness is a spark that can light up your whole week. 🌟
