Peace

by CCDA Guest on December 5, 2018

Peace In Thin Places  by Bruce Rhodes This advent 2018, I’ve been thinking about how much darker the world would be if God had not revealed himself to the humble humans that make up the Christmas story. The messages God sent to his people prepared the world for a sacred moment: the [...]

Hope

by CCDA Guest on November 21, 2018

Hope by Adriana Mondragon-Hill Through every mountain high and every valley low, God reveals Himself to be true to His Word and promises. I choose to trust Christ daily, especially during seasons of turbulence, whether in my personal life or throughout the world. Trusting Christ reminds me [...]

Joy in Uncertainty

by CCDA Guest on December 18, 2017

Different Bible translations are a true gift.

May it Be to Me

by CCDA Guest on December 11, 2017

Obedience

by Warren, Michelle on December 19, 2016

"For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn" This simple line from the well-known Christmas hymn, "O Holy Night" depicts the disruption of light, seen from a distance, yet breaking through darkness that first Christmas thousands of years ago. As we come to our final week in Advent, we are [...]

Patience and longsuffering

by CCDA Guest on December 12, 2016

Patience and longsuffering. The essentiality of patience and longsuffering during this Advent season may be just the discovery Christians require as 2016 comes to an end. It has certainly come as a much needed discovery in my own life as the insidious beast, known as depression, debilitates [...]
