Hello, Passion City Church and happy Sunday or whichever day you're jumping on to this link.

But I just wanted to say, Merry Christmas again to everyone in our Passion City Church family.

We had an amazing Eve gatherings just a few days ago.

I hope you're having a fantastic weekend with family, friends, wherever you are, enjoying

this season, enjoying the people around you.

And I hope you're not too stressed.

You made it.

You made it at least through Christmas Day.

I'm sure there's still a gift-giving moment coming and a family gathering or a meal to go.

But you made it through, and I know probably 10 days ago,

you were thinking, how am I going to get all of this done? And I know we've all felt that way

at Passion City Church. We've had such a beautiful December, starting with Christmas Grove,

which was one of the most amazing things I've ever been to in my life. And I'm not saying

that because I'm biased

towards Shelley, although I am biased toward Shelley. I'm saying it because every year it is

truly one of the most impactful gatherings that I'm ever a part of. And it was no different this

year, just incredible. But we also somehow mysteriously lost time this year between Thanksgiving and

now, and that sort of squished everything like an accordion, and all of a sudden it was like,

man, where'd the time go? And somehow in the middle of all that, we had a YA collective, a Christmas

in the city. We had the rising with all of our students here. We've had

such a full December, but God has brought us all through. And I'm so excited today to talk about

his promise to do that every single day of our lives. I've been thinking about manna a lot lately.
