Christmas Priorities: An Immediate response to Good News

Good news often requires an immediate response. When God announces Good News to you in the middle of the night, how do you respond?

God is in the Minutiae

There are times you may feel like you don’t have a role to play in your worship community or that what you do for the Lord is insignificant in the scheme of things. Be assured that every task given by God is important in His Kingdom no matter how small it may seem to you. […]
