Joseph was open to obeying God’s plans, even when that plan wasn’t predictable. So were the wise men. Hopefully you and I can be ready to obey God’s perfect, unpredictable plan for our lives as well.

As you prepare for Sunday and the study on Mary and Joseph’s obedient responses to God’s plan for their lives, spend time reading and dwelling on this week’s Advent reading from Luke 1:57-80.

This Sunday starts a new quarter of LifeMatters. We’re studying the Christmas story this month, but for most of us, the Christmas season has been in full swing for a while.

We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Here are the Web links for this week’s lesson on Deuteronomy 32.

In this week’s lesson, we’ll take a look at the single most important quality a leader needs to have—trust in the Lord.

This week we’ll be studying a challenging passage from Exodus 32 about the Israelites’ abandonment of Moses’ leadership while he was on Mount Sinai.

This week we begin a new unit studying a familiar Bible character—Moses.

Now is the time to make sure you have all of the LifeMatters materials you need to get your small groups rolling for the Winter.

When Jesus fed the 5,000-plus, He did more than feed their stomachs. He fed their souls with the promise of redemption and eternal life with Him. The loaves and fish were merely the instrument He used to teach the good news.

Do you find yourself wondering whether Jesus is big enough, His arm long enough, His voice strong enough to transform your desperation into hope? Well He is, and He will.
