Near in Every Season - A Christmas Invitation

IN this season as we look ahead we get to invite peace and joy and love into our lives. We get to invite HOPE to be renewed by celebrating Christmas the gift of God coming to us, to make all things new. I don’t know about you, but I know that life, when we focus on the mountains we can remain stuck and utterly discouraged. When we live with the hope of what’s to come and we can put our focus INTO Jesus and who he is, God’s character that is only good, his promise to be near in EVERY Season, its THEN we can experience the fullness of joy and the excitement of whats to come. Regardless of what 2022 was like for even a moment you would consider all God is working on behind the scenes as though he was going to show up and show off in your story, its only a matter of time. Here are some awesome quotes from the fall of guests. I want to encourage you if you missed ANY of these episodes to go back and listen in again.
