The Moment Before Yes: Devotion for January 12
I was attempting to organize all things in storage over Christmas break and somewhere between old photos and half-remembered keepsakes, I pulled out a timeworn book from 1938 titled Christ and the Fine Arts . My sorting came to a full stop. I sat right down on the floor, surrounded by piles of things, and let myself be drawn into its pages. One of the treasures I found there was Arthur Hacker’s painting The Annunciation —a depiction of the moment when the angel tells Mary
Happy New Year: Devotion for January 5
The New Year invites us to look at the blessings in our lives. What do we take for granted? We reflect on the Old Year.

John’s Gospel tells us that “the Word became flesh.” That simple sentence carries enormous weight.
Unconditional Love: Devotion for December 22
This nativity reminds me that God’s love is not distant or pristine. It is close, ordinary, and deeply personal. It shows up in the familiar, the faithful, and the everyday. It curls up beside us and stays.
Sowing Seeds to All in Need: Devotion for December 15
As we move through this season, may our hearts mirror that kindly robin. May we give as God has given to us—freely, joyfully, and without exception. And may every seed of kindness we scatter point others back to the manger, where love himself was born.

The Abundant Life: Devotion for November 24

We're All In This Together: Devotion for September 22
The Trinity itself is the ultimate picture of unity. Throughout John’s Gospel, we hear about the oneness of the Father, the Son, the Spirit, and even the invitation for believers to share in that oneness.
Seeing Clearly: Devotion for September 15
How clearly are you seeing? In a world quick to judge and slow to listen, Jesus’ words about the speck and the log in Matthew 7 still hit close to home.
