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.

Preparing Our Hearts For Christmas As the Christmas season approaches, it is easy to get caught up in the plans, the gifts, and the busy schedules, but the most important preparation happens inside our hearts. This is the time to slow down, breathe deep, and remember why we celebrate in the first place. Jesus stepped into our world to bring hope, peace, and salvation, and when we prepare room for Him, everything else finds its place. Let this season be less about rushing and more about refocusing on the Savior who came for us. Bible Verse: “Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him.” Matthew 3:3
