Everyone has things they love to share. Everyone has things they like to keep private. Which of those describes how you feel about your faith? Many followers of Jesus can be surprisingly quiet about what they believe. Today, we learn a lesson from Jesus about living your faith out loud. It can be uncomfortable, but it’s essential. Today, we’ll talk about letting our love speak louder than our fears.

We’ll be live on Facebook on Sunday at 11:00, or you can watch any time on Facebook or YouTube.

As we begin a new year, we often take stock of our lives and spend time in contemplation and discernment. This continuing story of the birth of Christ also involves inquiry. Three wise “seekers” visited the newborn Christ, guided by a new star they had noticed. On this last day of our series, we ask ourselves, what are we seeking? Where is our attention focused? What new stars may be calling to us? Will we go back into routines of life, or will we take this moment to understand more deeply how we can “return anew?”
