The First Must

Many of us move quickly from the chaos of Christmas to the chaos of a New Year full of resolutions about how to fix ourselves and the world. But what if there's an invitation to a different kind of resolution, based not on what we do but who, and how, we love? What if we allowed ourselves to pause and return to the wonder and connection we feel in God's presence, as we join our hearts to the psalmists' and Jesus' himself, seeking first not performance but presence in the gaze of the One who seeks to see us face to face. Pastor Lisa Elmers teaches from Psalm 84 and Luke 2:41-52.
