Miracles don't happen every day. And miracles accompanied by a choir of angels are even more rare! We'll follow along with Luke as he describes the birth of Jesus and be reminded that this was a miracle so important, it would define the way we would look at history to this very day.

INTRO:  SPIRITUALLY FIT  | TODAY 'It’s Like a War Zone’: Jamaica’s Churches After Hurricane Melissa – Interview with Nigel Wilkinson   When Hurricane Melissa hit Jamaica as a Category 5 storm, it devastated homes, churches, and entire communities. In this powerful conversation, Arnie Cole speaks with Nigel Wilkinson , Director of Back to the Bible Jamaica, about what he’s witnessing on the ground—and how the Church is fighting to rise again.

There will always be things in life that make us angry, and in some situations, that is the proper response. However, what we do with our anger matters. Coach Jon Winkelman explains this with a tale about a trumpet, a violin, and self-control. Self-control is possible and you can win today over anger. How? By living at peace with others and trusting God to take care of any vengeance.

Self-control is not a very popular topic because it often means denying ourselves the things that we like. While we may know deep down that losing all restraint can't be good, it's hard to understand why. Kelsey is here to help us see how a little self-control goes a long ways. And we'll get some wisdom from the Bible that will help keep the walls of our life strong.

Nat leads us in prayer today as we remember God's promise to work all things together for good.

Join Jason today as we pray for peace, both in our lives and the world. What cares will you bring before Jesus today?

STEP 1 - RECEIVE (Receive God's Word and Grow in Bible Knowledge) "I saw it with my own eyes" are some of the most powerful words we'll hear from a friend. They can help us believe something we might not have before. So when Luke opens his Gospel by telling His readers that he compiled and collected the eyewitness reports of the life of Jesus, we can trust that his words are true. STEP 2 - REFLECT (How does this Scripture Apply to your life?) Do you find it hard to spend time

What do you do when fear threatens to invade and hold your mind captive? Coach Shannon Lenz points to a combat strategy laid out for us in both example and instruction from God’s Word. When fear threatens to invade and hold your mind captive, do what Hezekiah did. Pray and ask someone else to pray for you too. Remember this verse: 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And th

Do you find it hard to spend time with Jesus? Are there just too many other things that need to be taken care of before you work Jesus into your schedule? Laura is here to share some wisdom she learned from the story of Mary and Martha in the Bible to help you set your priorities.

Read Galatians 4:12-16   Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You did me no wrong. You know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first, and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus. What then has become of your blessedness? For I testify to you that, if possible, you would have gouged out your eyes and given them to me.

"I saw it with my own eyes" are some of the most powerful words we'll hear from a friend. They can help us believe something we might not have before. So when Luke opens his Gospel by telling His readers that he compiled and collected the eyewitness reports of the life of Jesus, we can trust that his words are true.

Read Galatians 4:8-11   Formerly, when you did not God, you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world, whose slaves you want to be once more? You observe days and months and seasons and years! I am afraid I may have labored over you in vain.     Reflect   Like the Galatians, have you slipped back into the lice

You know all about the comfort and peace that can come from sharing our prayer requests with God and with others. Maybe someone you know doesn't have that relationship with God that they can turn to. Mark prays for us today asking God for opportunities to share His heart with others.

Even though Mark was not one of the disciples, his Gospel is an important part of the record we have of Jesus. And even though it is the shortest of the four, it stands as a powerful reminder of the divinity and grace of Jesus Christ. We'll take a quick overview of this fast-paced account of Jesus' life and be reminded of His call to all of us to be "fishers of men."

The journey of spiritual fitness is always better with a partner. Gary prays for us today and asks that God would show us someone we can invite along on this adventure.

During His ministry, Jesus told His followers what they could expect of believers in the future. We'll see how Jesus' statements fit in with Biblical prophecy. And while we wait for His return, we'll be reminded of the Great Commission we have all been given as believers.
