First Word from the Cross: Our High Priest Prays for Us
- Luke 23:34
If you've ever wondered whether you're "sorry enough," "repentant enough," or "good enough" for God, this message is for you. Jesus meets us in our weakness, not our strength. He forgives before we ask, and His forgiveness is what finally teaches our hearts to turn back to Him. Come hear the good news of a Savior who moves toward sinners first.

What Does God Reveal in His Glory?
- Exodus 24:12,15-18
When God's glory descended on Mount Sinai, it appeared as a devouring fire that revealed His awesome holiness and power to Israel. In His glory, God gave Moses the stone tablets containing His law and commandments to teach the people His will and ways. Yet this same holy God who appeared in consuming fire also welcomed Moses into His presence for forty days, demonstrating His gracious invitation to fellowship with Him.

How Will You Stand in God's Courtroom?
- Micah 6:1-8
God presents His case against Israel, reminding them of His faithful deliverance and asking what He has done to weary them. Rather than external sacrifices, God requires justice, mercy, and humble walking with Him—standards we cannot meet on our own. Only through Christ can we stand in God's courtroom, as He alone creates the fear of the LORD that produces true righteousness and acceptance before God.

Jesus, anointed by God with the Holy Spirit and power, is the Savior who brings peace and deliverance from evil. Through Christ's anointing work, God has also anointed us to receive His salvation and become acceptable in His sight.

The Word who became flesh is fully God and fully man, dwelling among us to reveal the Father's glory.

Throughout This Coming Year: Listen, Manage, and Trust
- Matthew 2:19-23
Joseph's faithful obedience in returning to Israel with Jesus demonstrates how God guides His people through His Word throughout life's journey. As Joseph listened to God's direction, managed the care of Jesus and Mary wisely, and trusted God's promises even amid danger, he models the Christian life for us. God remained faithful to fulfill prophecy by leading the family to Nazareth, reminding us that He keeps His promises as we navigate each new year.

Christ is our unfailing compass, having inscribed us on the palms of His hands, never forgetting us or losing sight of us through any trial.

Through faith in Jesus, even the least in God's kingdom receives a status greater than the greatest prophet, demonstrating the transformative power of belonging to Christ.
