Christmas BreakSample

LIVE // Everyone likes getting a new pair of shoes, a new outfit, or a new watch. But in this verse, Peter tells us that what satisfies us or makes us feel good about ourselves shouldn’t come from these things. And chances are, you already know that. You’ve noticed when you get the stuff you want—especially this time of year—the satisfaction doesn’t last very long. We find ourselves wanting more and more. But what if, in a season that tends to just leave us wanting more, we spent time growing our gratitude for what matters and what we already have? This week, look for opportunities to show gratitude for what you already have. In time, instead of wanting more, you’ll find yourself experiencing something new: contentment.

About this Plan

Christmas is the most magical time of year, except when it isn’t—when nothing looks like the Christmas we see in commercials, movies, and even our friends’ families. In this series, we’ll discover that, even when Christmas doesn’t live up to our expectations, because of Jesus, we still have a reason to celebrate.
