As you reflect on the Christmas story and your own experience of it this year, I ask, what are you facing that feels impossible or unthinkable? Where are your angels? Think honestly - have you already heard from the angel you need? Have they already spoken? Or are you still waiting?

He entered this world as a little babe, no crib for a bed. But with a name the world would learn so that his followers to come would always, always have a name close enough to be spoken to.

Say his name. Jesus!

Readiness is what God reveals only after you have lived through the gap. Readiness rises from the wisdom you gain in the nights when answers do not come. Readiness appears when the fear settles and the truth finally speaks.

Preparation is the gift God placed in you before the trial.

Readiness is the gift God places in you after you endure it.

The arms that carried Jesus through death itself carry us still. And when the bridge looks too wide to cross, God holds us steady until we can carry each other.

Say this, beloved, like you believe it:

God can take it all.

God’s heart is on infinite swivel.

I cross no bridge alone.

The Spirit will not be boxed in.

🌬️ Jesus tells Nicodemus: “The wind blows where it chooses. You hear the sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.” (John 3:8)

This week we face the hard truth: life is not fine, but the Spirit is still moving.

Sometimes like a storm. Sometimes like a whisper. Always drawing us into new birth.

Jesus said, “I am your bread.”
Not for shock. For sustenance.

No matter the famine around you —
He is the feast within you.

At the edge of what you can endure, what you can hope, what you can see—God meets you there. Because for God, the edge is never the end. It’s the beginning of your next chapter. 💧 This week’s sermon: “Edge of Oil Things” — where anointing meets breaking, and breaking becomes testimony.
