The Gift We Didn’t Expect
Have you ever exchanged gifts and realized you walked away with something far better than what you gave? That’s exactly how it is with Jesus. We bring what we have: our worries, our burdens, our limits, and He gladly receives them, knowing He has something infinitely greater to give in return. Join us this week as Preaching Student Marci Mazariego shares a powerful message about God’s invitation to exchange our burdens for His joy and glory. In the heart of the Christmas season, this is a message that will stir gratitude and remind us of the generous, grace-filled heart of God. - Next Steps 💪 • Are you NEW to Thrive?
