“What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people.” 1 John 1:3-4 We wait with anxious hearts for the arrival of Christmas. Not just for the joy of presents and celebrations, but for the beacon of light that tells us we are not alone. Christmas is the annual reminder that God comes to us, bringing light to the dark places, hope to a weary world, and peace that endures all things. “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.” John 1:5 Light in the darkness | Dr. Clayton Oliphint | First United Methodist Church of Richardson...

Do small things even make a difference? When we read about global news and national headlines, it’s hard to believe that individual acts accomplish anything. But small things done in the love of God are not random or pointless; they are acts of partnership in the work of Jesus. During this series we fight against the lie that we can’t make a difference in our local, personal lives; instead, we commit to partner with Jesus, doing small things with great love. Small things. Great love. | Rev. Allison Jean | First United Methodist Church of Richardson #FUMCR #Methodist #LoveServedHere First...

So we look to deepen our faith by examining difficult questions, and we implore the prayer from Mark 9:22-24 - “Lord I believe, help my unbelief.”
