Glad Tidings When Life is a Mess

November 30, 2025Dan Slagle

Bible Teacher Dan Slagle opens our Advent series, Glad Tidings, by reflecting that few of us actually experience a "postcard perfect" Christmas these days. As seen in Matthew 1 and 2, Joseph's steady reliance on God throughout Mary's pregnancy and the birth of Jesus teaches us to pause, pray, and walk in obedience even when God's plans are unclear. The Glad Tidings of God's faithfulness can reach us even in the midst of our messiness this Christmas.

Ultimately, God calls each of us to step into His story with humility, obedience, and faith.
