Christmas: Commemorating God’s Greatest Gift! by Robert Ricciardelli
Christmas commemorates the greatest event in history, when the Incarnate of God was birthed into the world for the world. As we celebrate this day, the fullness of God’s Incarnate gift of life transforms us to live each day for Him and empowers us for eternal good. Christ birthed for the world is forever, not for just one day, for loving, sharing, and giving are to be a way of life. Thank God for the day our Savior was born.

Jesus Became Humble for the Humble by Robert Ricciardelli
Jesus was not just a humble person who was birthed into humanity, but he was was preoccupied with the humble of the world. He became the divine lifter of humble hearts from sin, suffering, and insignificance. Through Him, all that received Him would receive new life, and become significant on earth and for all eternity. Today as we approach the celebration of His birth, He remains preoccupied with the humble of heart.

Best Time to Change is Now by Robert Ricciardelli
Change in one’s life is not only desired but often needed in order to survive and thrive. The only lasting way for things to change is for people themselves to change. Godly changes not only promote health, wholeness, and peace, it also ignites an atmosphere for the miraculous to appear. God has given you Himself to transform your life in order to unleash His glory to the world. The best time for changing is now.

Immovable Authentic Servants by Robert Ricciardelli
The most critical need of the Church at this moment is a people that are free, bold, and immovable from God’s purposes. They will make no decisions out of fear, will not engage for self pleasure, and will not be influenced by the love of publicity or reputation. They are free from the compulsions that control others, and are servants who remain authentic to who they are regardless of the context or audience.

Significance of Communal Life by Robert Ricciardelli
Anything of spiritual value is not the result of individual accomplishments but birthed from communal life. All the knowledge and wisdom of God has come to us through the ages through prophets of God, Christ Himself, Saints who went before us, and from all who have played roles in the formation of our hearts. True spiritual knowledge belongs to the communion of God’s people and with all glory to God.

God’s Igniting Flame for Your Life by Robert Ricciardelli
Many today are perplexed and confused about the ways of God. Some have had a vision that God has yet to fulfill, and have now lost hope. Many have impatiently turned to their own devices when it is only God who can ignite His flame on His destiny for them. No man lit the burning bush in the days of Moses and no man can ignite the flame of His vision for your life. Be expectant for God to fan His flame over your life.

Embracing All of Creation by Robert Ricciardelli
The Spirit of Christ embraces all of creation. In him were created all things in heaven and on earth; everything visible and everything invisible, all things created through Him and for Him, and in Him all things hold together. Therefore with His Spirit within us, our hearts embrace not only all people but all of creation. Love removes all fear and prejudice, while welcoming and gathering in all that belongs to God.
