We don’t sing “Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus” much in church anymore, and we also forget that the first Christmas was eagerly anticipated by God’s people for centuries. If we look at the things the prophets promised about Him, it will help us worship Him better.
The Sermon on the Mount is often acclaimed (even by non-Christians) as the greatest moral teaching ever presented. It dares us to dream of the world-changing things that could happen if we began to walk like Him.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
