The greatest. We hear that title applied to so many people and things. Who's the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) in sports? In music? In politics? Who doesn't want to be (or be like) the greatest?
Jesus has a far different view of those who should hold the title of GOAT: someone who is innocent like a child. He has a lot to say about them, and about those who cause them to stumble.
This week we'll look at real greatness and what that means for us as we strive to be like Jesus.
Uncertainty. That word can fill us with anxiety. You may be going through a rough time and wonder what's going to happen to you. You've been in waiting mode for what seems like forever. Will this waiting ever come to an end? We're on the cusp of a new year. What's going to happen in 2024? No one knows what's going to happen in the future, but uncertainty gives us another chance to trust in God and renew our commitment to Him. He is our Father who is familiar with us and knows what we need before we even ask it.
This Sunday, New Year's Eve, we will look at the opportunity of uncertainty and see what God tells us about trusting Him when we can't see around the corner.
