Matiu 5:4

‘Tis the season to be jolly, but also very busy.  Come away for a few moments of rest and worship that will sustain you throughout the merry labors of the season. Based on the book Unwrapping the Names of Jesus: An Advent Devotional , this 5-day devotional reading plan will guide you to receive Jesus’ rest this Christmas by taking moments to remember His goodness, express your neediness, seek His stillness, and trust His faithfulness.

If Jesus were on board with every idea His followers have staked His claim in, then He’d be one incredibly confused Son of God, always at odds with Himself and overly busy leading the charge for both sides of every debate. Thankfully, Jesus speaks for Himself. You can read His words in this new Life.Church Bible Plan to accompany Pastor Craig Groeschel’s message series, Things Jesus Never Said.

There's no shame in being sad. The life we've been given was never promised to be free of pain or sorrow. It is critical however that during the times we are hurting most, we run to God and his Word for peace and comfort.

Taken from Kyle Idleman's follow-up to "Not A Fan," you're invited to find the end of yourself, because only then can you embrace the inside-out ways of Jesus.
