Isaiah 9:6 gives us five names of Jesus: Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Each of these names describe a different aspect of our relationship with God including: guiding us through decisions, strengthening us through life’s demands, and giving us peace during times distress.
Greatness: when Jesus knew that His time had come, He, the Creator, got down on His hands and knees and washed the feet of His creation.
We live in a time of inverted values, where light is called darkness and darkness is called light.
Unresolved issues can be deep, damaging, and sometimes evil.
Even in a world that changes daily, God remains the same.
Shame is the feeling that we’ve radically disappointed ourselves, our friends, and God.
We should grow in the wonder of Jesus, not in the cheap things of life.
Shame loses its power in the presence of the cross.
Christianity is the only religion that has a God with wounds.
Satan sought independence, but he is still God’s servant.
