The Bible portrays itself as one story and in fact, as the one true story of the world. Not just your truth or my truth, but it is the truth for all of the world. And it all points to Jesus. It invites us to put aside our stories, and to live its story instead. It's our real story anyway.
God so loved, that he gave. This is the basic pattern of faith, life, generosity - of God - that we read in Scripture. Above all else, God is a generous God.

Our calling, in light of Christmas, is to be a generous people as we follow after God's generosity. So let's learn to be generous together!
Deep in our bones, we know we're made for something more. We reach for it. We long for it. We struggle for it. We spend our lives looking for it.

It’s all too easy to be shallow with one another. Shallow is easy, shallow is quick, shallow is clean. It’s harder to get personal. Personal is difficult, personal is costly, personal is messy.
