Summary
How often are you alone with God? Truly alone, pulled away from the rest of the world, in the quiet and stillness of his presence? I believe God is beckoning his people this holiday season to experience his Immanuel, God with us, nearness. Our souls need it, and God longs for it. Just as you desire to experience his presence and peace, God wants to experience your nearness too, simply because he loves you. May you be encouraged and motivated today to get truly alone with the Father in these days.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 1:14, and today's worship is O Come, O Come, Emmanuel by First15 Worship.
Help people connect with God in 2022
Your gift is doubled!
Millions of people today are searching for peace. They’re searching for rest. They’re searching for something to help them find healing.
That something is a person: God himself.
And today, you can help more people connect with the God of true healing when you help expand the reach of First15 in 2022.
Thankfully, some generous friends have stepped forward with a $100,000 Matching Grant — which will DOUBLE your gift to help meet the $340,000 year-end goal and finish the year strong.
Reaching this goal in full couldn’t be more important, because every dollar given reaches one new First15 reader, listener, or viewer. And with the match, that means your $1 investment impacts two people.
Here’s just a taste of what your gift will accomplish in 2022...
- You’ll help the First15 daily devotional reach more people through our app and emails.
- You’ll be a part of producing more podcasts that draw people into a deeper relationship with God.
- You’ll help produce more printed resources and devotionals.
- You’ll help create more powerful moments of worship music.
- You’ll be a part of launching a new and improved app.
- You’ll help expand the reach and impact of Primeros15.
So thank you for giving below — and don’t forget that the $100,000 Matching Grant will double the amount and impact of your gift!
