Your Goals in 2026

As we turn the calendar, many of us make lists of goals or even resolutions for the next year.  

Often times, we skip the necessary step of asking ourselves:  Is this goal something that God intends for me? 

Working with the story of the magi visiting Jesus (Matthew 2:1-12), Pastor Rob reflects on how we can discern God's purposes and will in our lives.  It turns out that it isn't about a formula, but more like a recipe for a slow cook sauce, one that has a number of ingredients and takes some time. 

Stink, Stank, Stunk

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas continues to capture the imagination years after its debut.  Might it be that the problem for the grinch -- that is heart is too sizes too small -- is something we fear might happen to us?  Not only might our hearts be smaller, but as humans it is quite hard (impossible?!) to grow our own heart.  We need a love outside of ourselves.

Fear not though, for love has come!  As the Gospel writer Luke tells of the story 

1)  The love our hearts need has come into the world in Jesus Christ.

2)  This love is for the world and also for you!
