Matayo 1:23

The Christmas story is the story of how God intervened in history through the birth of Jesus. The lives of Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds were utterly changed by this event. They found hope, love, peace, and joy; join the team from Vertical Worship as we remember together how, through Jesus, we can find these too. 

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, but we often find ourselves hustling through the holidays. This Christmas, what if we reclaimed wonder? In this 5-day Bible Plan accompanying Pastor Craig Groeschel’s series, The Gift, we’ll discover how the three gifts the wise men gave Jesus can lead us to a place of wonder and worship today.

This devotional is an invitation to feel, to wrestle, to be fully awake in your suffering after miscarriage or other loss. It is also an invitation to be nurtured and understood and to hear from another woman that the pain gets better, even as we long for the day when our tears are wiped away and pain is no more. Wherever you are on your journey of grief after losing a baby—or any kind of personal heartache or suffering—I pray these words will be a gateway for God’s grace. Let’s dive deep together.

Spremembe so del naše vsakdanjosti. Ta tematska pot pa poudari, kaj je najpomembnejša sprememba za vsakega človeka: milostni trenutek spreobrnjenja. Šele ko odkriješ, kaj je pravzaprav greh, kakšne posledice ima in kako se ga lahko rešiš, začneš živeti drugače. Ko ti je odpuščeno, sprejmeš odgovornost za nov začetek in v veri najdeš moč, da se upreš zlu. Še več, izkušnja odpuščanja te usposobi za pričevanje.
