Many debate whether we ought to say “Happy Holiday” or “Merry Christmas”, but such a debate misses what is most critical – to know and trust the Christ of Christmas. Matthew helps us know more about Christ and helps us see how we can trust Christ.

Through prayer we have community with God and we are called to submission and dependence on God
First Corinthians teaches us that all of us have been given gifts so that we can serve others according to His design. This week we reflect on a life of serving together.
We have spent much of this series looking at how wisdom points us back to creation, but this week we will look at how wisdom impacts our plans for the future.

Solomon’s systematic pursuit for meaning under the sun takes off as we begin looking at the second chapter of Ecclesiastes.
