Malachi 3:1-4 • A refiner’s fire and a launderer’s soap.
Luke 3:7-18 • John warns the crowds, “You brood of vipers!”

Christmas messages of consumerism abound, all saying one thing – you do not have enough. But Jesus shows that abundance is not measured by how much one has, and certainly not in competition with others. Instead, when we act as the collective we are, we see there is enough. We find peace knowing that we are enough and have enough to feel generous with what we have already. Through faith we will break through the hostility and build a peaceful world, one act of generosity at a time. On White Gift Sunday, what can you do to live abundantly and share your gifts with others?
