A quick reminder as you start the week — forgiveness isn’t about replaying your past, it’s about living from what Christ has already done.

When your heart rests in true forgiveness, it changes how you walk, how you love, and how you extend grace to others.

Start the week grounded in the heart of the gospel — forgiven, free, and moving forward ✝️

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace.”Ephesians 1:7

Happy New Year, friends 🎉✨

We’re starting the year by going straight to the core of Christianity — forgiveness 💛

The Bible doesn’t present forgiveness as a wish, a hope, or a spiritual “maybe.”

In Christ, forgiveness is secured.Jesus didn’t make it possible — He finished it ✝️

That truth is what separates the gospel from every other religious system.

Scripture presents forgiveness as settled and complete,
while Islam requires continual requests for forgiveness —even modeled by Muhammad himself 🕊️

One offers assurance through a completed work;
the other offers effort without certainty.

Scripture tells a different story.

Through the cross, sin was dealt with once and for all.
We don’t confess to earn grace —we confess because we already stand forgiven 🙌

So here’s the question to start the year 🤔💡

Are you living like forgiveness is something you still need to chase…
or something Christ already secured?

Grace is not uncertain.
Forgiveness is not fragile.
And the cross was enough ❤️

As we move through the week of Christmas, Mary’s story reminds us that faith means trusting God even when the path doesn’t make sense. ✨

When the angel spoke, she didn’t hesitate — “Let it be to me according to your word.” (Luke 1:38)

Her yes came with risk and uncertainty, yet she believed God anyway.Where is God asking you to trust Him right now? 👇

Mary BELIEVED God 😎

"And Mary said, 'Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.' And the angel departed from her." Luke 1:38

Merry Christmas friends! 🎄 This is part four of my series "Christmas Collisions," where we're diving into those epic moments when heaven collides with earth during the Nativity story. Today, let's zoom in on Mary's radical faith – she straight-up BELIEVED God! 😎

Picture this … Mary, a young virgin pledged to marry Joseph, gets visited by an angel announcing she'll have a baby... the Messiah! Biologically? Impossible – no human dad involved. 🙅‍♀️ Socially? A total nightmare! In her culture, an unmarried pregnant girl could face shame, rejection, or worse. Joseph might bail, her family could disown her, and the community? Whispers and judgment everywhere. 😟

Yet, Mary didn't freak out or demand proof. She humbly said, "Let it be to me according to your word." That's trust on steroids! 💪 From a biblical perspective, this shows true faith means surrendering to God's impossible promises, even when it flips your life upside down. Mary's belief paved the way for Jesus' birth, proving God uses ordinary folks like us for extraordinary plans 🙌

But what do you think? 🤔

When has God asked you to believe something that seemed impossible or risky – how did you respond?

What's one area in your life where you need to say "yes" to God today, no matter the cost? Be sure to write your thoughts in the comments👇

Happy Monday, friends! 💪 Joseph’s story reminds us what true obedience looks like: “When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife.” – Matthew 1:24 NIV 🌟

Even when faced with uncertainty, fear, or judgment, Joseph trusted God’s plan over his own. This week, ask yourself: Where is God calling you to obey Him, even when it’s hard? 🤔

Take courage, follow His lead, and watch how faith can change everything. 🙌

Joseph OBEYED God 💪

"When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife." Matthew 1:24 NIV

Merry Christmas friends! 🎄 As we celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, let's dive into one of the biggest COLLISIONS of the nativity story … that being Joseph, Mary’s husband. Joseph was a righteous man, engaged to Mary, but then he discovers she's pregnant—and it's not his child. Can you imagine the heartbreak? 💔

In those days, this could've meant public shame, divorce, or even worse for Mary. Joseph planned to quietly end the engagement to spare her, showing his kindness. But God had bigger plans! An angel appeared in a dream, revealing the baby was from the Holy Spirit, the promised Messiah. 🌟

Obeying God wasn't easy for Joseph. Marrying Mary meant facing gossip, judgment from family and friends, and stepping into the unknown. Yet, he didn't hesitate — he woke up and obeyed immediately! 🚀 This shows true faith: trusting God’s word over our fears or society's opinions. As Chritians, we believe the Bible calls us to radical obedience, just like Joseph. His "yes" to God changed history, bringing Jesus into the world to save us from sin. Hallelujah! 🙌

Friends, Joseph's story challenges us to serve Christ wholeheartedly. Are we willing to obey God even when it's tough? 🤔 Let's make this Christmas about surrendering fully to Him!

But what do you think?

In what area of your life is God asking you to obey Him right now, despite the difficulties?

How can Joseph's example inspire you to trust God's plan over your own?
