CURRENT MESSAGE SERIES:
December 1: You are Invited!
Luke 1:26-56; Jeremiah 23:5-6
Two thousand years ago, a teenage girl got an invitation to be a part of God’s celebration, and she realized how amazing it would be. Now you and I must make a similar decision—will we allow Christ to live and grow in our hearts? Will we join the celebration? Are we getting prepared and are we excited about what is to come?
December 8: Not What I Expected
Luke 2:1-7; Isaiah 7:14
Israel had waited for a Messiah for generations, building up in their spiritual imagination what he would and should look like when he arrived. So when he came, and surpassed their expectations, they did not know how to receive him. We too can be caught off guard when God shows up in a long-awaited way and His answer to prayer doesn’t look like what we thought. Will we struggle to receive the blessing or will we be able to realize that God’s ways are even better than our own?
December 15: Easter Eggs and Christmas
Luke 2:8-20; Micah 5:2-4
What does an Easter egg have to do with Christmas? The kind of Easter egg we are talking about isn’t the ones that you pick up on Easter Sunday. We are talking about the clues hidden away in movies, books, or theme park rides that point back to a different part of the narrative or point ahead to something that is coming in the future. The Christmas story is full of these kinds of Easter egg moments, especially as the shepherds encounter the new-born Messiah. Seeing how this moment fits with a bigger story helps us to understand how anticipation had been building for generations and how there was something even greater still to come.
December 22: Get Going
Matthew 2:1-12; Numbers 24:17; Daniel 9:25
There are times in life when you have waited for something for so long that you are not sure how to act when it arrives. In fact, we can get so used to waiting on something that we are almost unable to move at all when the time comes for action. In Matthew 2 we meet a group of Babylonian wise men that had been waiting for a very long time for a world changing event. In what way are we waiting on God? It could be that God is already putting the pieces together. It could be that God is calling us to action and it is time to get going.
Christmas Eve: Just Like He Promised
John 1:9-13; Genesis 1:3-5; Isaiah 9:1-7
Light and dark have always been powerful images of good and evil, life and death, hope and despair in our world. From the moment that God created light on day one of creation, He was providing a way for us to understand His saving work through Jesus. Israel had been waiting for a light to come, and in the birth of Jesus, that light came into the world. We still live in a world of darkness and we still need the light of God to shine. We know that we are saved by the work of Jesus, but we long for God’s work to be completed. The good news is that God promises to finish His work and bring a new creation, and God is a promise keeper. Just as the light came into the world, just as God promised, the work will be completed and we will experience the full life that God created us for.
COMING UP NEXT...
Prayer isn’t just about words—it’s about opening your heart to a God who loves you deeply and invites you to connect with Him in boldness and honesty. Too often, we hold back, distracted by life’s noise or unsure of how to approach Him. But what if you could overcome those barriers? What if you could quiet the distractions, trust in His limitless power, and pray with confidence, knowing He hears and moves mightily? Dive into a journey that will deepen your understanding of prayer, strengthen your faith, and transform your relationship with God. It’s time to discover what prayer was truly meant to be!
Jan. 5—Week 1: More Than You Thought (Romans 8:26-27)
We’ve all heard about the importance of prayer in following Jesus—but let’s be honest, prayer often feels like a struggle. What if the problem isn’t just our effort, but our understanding? What if prayer is far more than we’ve imagined? It’s not just words spoken to God; it’s the vulnerable act of opening our hearts to a God who loves us deeply. Could it be that there’s more to prayer than we’ve ever considered?
Jan. 12—Week 2: The Heartbeat of God (Hebrews 4:14-16)
Our view of God shapes how we approach Him in prayer. If we see Him as an angry judge, we’ll keep our distance, afraid of punishment. If we think He’s indifferent to our struggles, we won’t seek His help when we’re falling short. But when we truly grasp God’s heart—His deep love and compassion—we can come to Him just as we are, trusting Him to transform us into the image of Jesus. The key to bold, honest prayer is understanding the God who invites us in.
Jan. 19—Week 3: When the Mind Wanders (Luke 10:38-42)
We live in a world wired for distraction, where our attention spans are shrinking in the digital age. It’s no surprise that this spills over into our prayer lives. The moment we try to pray, our minds race, and every little distraction pulls us away. But here’s the good news: God isn’t surprised by this struggle—He’s ready to help us overcome it. With His Spirit at work in us, we can push through the noise, focus our hearts, and learn to hear His voice clearly. Prayer doesn’t have to compete with distractions—it can become a place of deep connection.
Jan. 26—Week 4: The Audacity to Believe (Matthew 17:14-21)
The God who spoke the universe into existence with just a word hasn’t lost an ounce of His power—but do we really believe that? Too often, we hold back, hesitant to share the deepest desires of our hearts or ask Him for bold, impossible things. Why? Maybe it’s because we’ve bought into the lie that God doesn’t move mightily in our time. But what if we dared to pray boldly, trusting in the same power that created the heavens? What could happen if God’s people unleashed bold prayers?
Join the Getwell family as we take on the challenge of 25 days of guided prayer during the month of January. Printed prayer guides and an online version will be available starting December 22, and the 25 days begins January 6.
