Yesterday, in the first day of our Christmas series, we explored the incarnation of Christ, that in ways beyond the coming of Jesus God has and continues to fill and dwell among us.Today let’s explore a facet of Christ’s incarnation–what it means for us to be interdependent with God and each other. And how in interdependence, in seeing ourselves more through the lens of relationship, we find true abundant life.

Tilling the Soil of Your Heart
This week we'll look at a vital spiritual practice to all those seeking to grow in God: tilling the soil of the heart. Jesus spoke in Matthew 13 of two different types of soil—hard and soft. God longs for us to till the soil of our hearts that we might be receptive to the seed of his word and bear fruit. May your heart become more responsive to the presence, will, and love of God this week as you cultivate good soil with the help of the Holy Spirit.

Interdependence
Published 23 Dec 2025 · Transcript excerpt
[…] The resolution not to twist them to fit our own image. If in loving them, we do not love what they are, but only their potential likeness to ourselves, then we do not love them. We only love the reflection of ourselves we find in them. As we move into Christmas Eve tomorrow, take time today to allow the notion of interdependence to prepare you to love those you might spend time with just as they are. While retaining a healthy notion of boundaries, seek to develop a true empathy and awareness of the state of those around you. Try to simply notice while reserving judgment and develop the capacity to love them in whatever way you feel they need most. […]
