Join Illumination as we begin monthly brief deep dives on God's Names in the Bible. This month, we are unpacking the name, Almighty. In Hebrew, Shaddai, this powerful moniker speaks much into the lives of humanity. The question stands, though, do you believe?

Take a few moments, sit back and meditate on two meaningful enactments of the Event 2000+ years ago that changed time and history. These devotionals written by Ken Gire, will put you into the Messiah's story during first century Israel; seeing, feeling, smelling, and observing.

Shalom and Merry Christmas.

Join Heather as we go back to the 1st Century to delve into the Incarnation story. Who was Caesar Augustus? How about Herod the Great? They exist both in secular and biblical history, so how does that merge?

Prophecy, Yeshua, Salvation, Miriam, Yosef.

Listen for artistic and historical renditions and compare the biblical account.

Merry Christ-mass, Friends.

Listen to a myriad of prophecies fulfilled simply by the conception, birth, and early months of the Messiah. Let this episode enrich your celebration of the Incarnation. Merry Christmas, Friends.

Join Illumination as we unpack the season of Advent, it's history and meaning. Christmas preparation can be frenzied and frantic. Advent or “aventus” is Latin which means “arrival.” We await the arrival of the Messiah each year. Prepare your heart for the Hope, Peace, Joy and Love that awaits all who believe,

Let's spend a moment reflecting on why we give our money, time and resources. Join Illumination as we dig into scriptural references and examples of lavish and scant giving. Which are each of us?

One of our smaller body parts can get us in so much trouble: the tongue. What comes out of our mouths reveal what is in our hearts. How can this be? Do we speak impeccably? Or carelessly? Join Illumination as we explore a teaching from James (Jacob) and Jesus, with the goal of taming this little muscle!

Jodi joins Heather again, this time to share her story of sharing the Gospel message this past summer. If you had a captive audience, what would you say? Are you ready with an answer? 1 Peter 3:15 Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
