From 40 Days of Prayer (pre-series): As children, we’re often excited to grow up and experience the freedom that comes with getting to be “a big person.

Matthew 6:19-34As we begin a new year, all of us would like to experience success in the different areas of our lives.

Luke 2:1-20As Christians, we get to celebrate the Christmas story and proclaim it's message for God's glory.

What if Jesus lived in your house? How would He relate to the neighbors and the people in your life? We're not perfect neighbors and some of us don't even know ours.
