“'Prove by the way you live that you have repented of your sins and turned to God. Don’t just say to each other, ‘We’re safe, for we are descendants of Abraham.’ That means nothing, for I tell you, God can create children of Abraham from these very stones.”- Luke 3:8 NLT

John’s purpose was to prepare hearts for the arrival of Jesus Christ. His message centered on repentance—a genuine turning away from sin and a transformation of heart.

In a world often characterized by self-promotion and individualism, the concept of humility can seem outdated or even counterproductive. However, the wisdom found in the Bible, particularly in Philippians 2:3-5, offers a profound perspective on the significance of humility in our lives.

There are some truths in life that are hard to ignore, no matter how hard we try. Every coin has two sides, every story has two or more sides/perspectives. The same is true with Communion. There’s the side of communion where we focus on the grace of God. The mercy extended to us through the loving acts of Jesus by which he took our sin on his shoulders. We reflect on what he has done for us, while looking forward to his triumphant return.

Secure, loved people don’t act that way. The person who feels deeply loved and deeply secure is generous and gracious to other people.
