Through the Eyes of Zechariah

Rev. Dr. Bill Fullilove | 8 min read

Let me tell you my story, now that I can talk again… I’m an old man, way too old to have an infant son.  But this is what the last year has held.  It’s a year I still don’t understand, and that makes me wonder at what God is going to do with all of...

Advent Meditations: Joy To The World

Becca Hermes | 5 min read

Advent. It’s a season of more than just waiting for the Christ child. It is a season of cultivating our longing for his coming. Wait… Cultivating our longing? I generally want to satisfy my longings, not cultivate them! {I begin to feel the deep rumblings of panic in my soul.} If I cultivate a longing,...
