This week we will start a new series called “The Light Breaks In” that will guide us through advent. In John 1 Jesus is described as the light that breaks into the darkness, that pushes back the darkness. Each week in this series we are going to look at places in our lives and scripture where Jesus breaks in, and pushes back darkness in unexpected ways, times and places. This week reflect on the unexpected love Jesus shows to Peter after denying him three times.
Today we will examine adoption, and see how Jesus can be called God’s only son, and yet we are also his children.
God’s people find themselves trapped in a season they did not choose and waiting for deliverance that has not yet arrived. Yet even in the silence and suffering, God is quietly preserving life and forming courage in ordinary women who refuse to surrender to fear.
God renews our minds through the hope of salvation and equips us with His living and active Word. As we close the series, we’ll explore how what we believe shapes how we think, and how Scripture works in us and through us in everyday life. Rooted in Him, we are both formed by His truth and sent out to live it.
