During Advent, we want a Savior but not a King.

Adoration is the key to freedom from spiritual indifference.

We rejoice because God is closer than we think. Darkness does not mean distance.

Voices of Bethlehem listens to the many voices surrounding the birth of Jesus, the Messiah who entered the world through the vulnerability of a manger. Herod, Mary, the Magi, the shepherds, and the people of first-century Judea each respond to God’s arrival in different ways: with hostility, courage, adoration, or indifference. Together, these voices illuminate the richness and complexity of human...

Share meals and life with people in your life who do not know God. Be attentive to opportunities God provides you to care for people and attend to their needs. Once you build a relationship and earn trust, look for ways you can share the story of how Jesus is transforming your life and the world.

We were shaped by God on purpose to serve His purpose.

Mutuality is healthy giving and receiving. Helping one another draws us near to God.
