When we truly unwrap Christmas, we see God. When we see God for who He really is, it changes our life. Isaiah sees the Lord “high and exalted,” the train of His robe filling the temple, angels calling, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty; the whole earth is full of His glory.” In that moment, Isaiah is completely undone. He sees God’s holiness and his own brokenness all at once. Christmas is that same holy God stepping into our broken world as a baby in a manger.

In 1 Peter 2:2, it says, “Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation.”

Trust in the Lord, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

This week at New Hope Tunnel Hill, we’re believing God for a fresh move as revival begins with Rev. Randy Postell. If you’re hungry for something real, longing to see God work in new ways, or just need your hope restored—this is for you! Come join us, expecting God to do what only He can.

“Caught up together” paints a powerful picture: believers swept up by God’s mighty hand, reunited across generations and borders, all coming face-to-face with the Lord. This isn’t just about escape; it’s about celebration—a forever reunion with Christ at the center.

Sometimes life weighs heavy and loss feels final—but God reminds us it isn’t the end of the story. Paul wrote that “the Lord himself will come down… and the dead in Christ will rise first.” What a powerful promise!

Sometimes God doesn’t erase the past—He brings new blessings that outshine the pain.

That means our gifts aren’t just random quirks—they’re tools meant for helping others and showing God’s love in real ways.

Have you ever felt stuck—waiting, praying, wondering if your story is ever going to move forward? Joseph knew that feeling. Genesis 40 finds him in prison, even though he’d done nothing wrong. He helps people—interprets the cupbearer's and baker’s dreams—and asks to be remembered, but he’s forgotten. Still stuck. Still waiting.

When life feels unfair and tough, God is still with us just as He was with Joseph in Genesis 39 which is a powerful reminder.

Prayer and supplication aren’t fancy words—they’re just honest conversations with God. Tell Him what’s weighing on you.

Life throws battles our way—fear, stress, health, finances. But the same God who stood with Hezekiah stands with us.

God’s not looking for perfect prayers—He’s looking for your heart.

Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? God isn’t out to crush you—He’s out to lead you back with kindness.

Life moves fast. One minute it's Monday, the next it's Christmas again. 😅But this verse reminds me—slow down and pay attention.

God doesn’t change. He’s steady. Faithful. The source of every good and perfect thing in our lives.

Joshua 1:9 is more than just a pep talk—it’s a promise.

Hope you all have a blessed and special Father's Day!

Because gratitude isn’t about pretending everything’s perfect—it’s about trusting that God is still good, even when life isn’t.

Failure isn’t final when God’s in the picture.
