Valentinus: “More Than a Hallmark Hero”
Maybe Valentine's Day is just a "Hallmark holiday" to you. But did you know there was a real St Valentine? He gave his life so others could be married. How much are we willing to sacrifice for our own marriages?
Perpetua: “From Riches to Rags”
Today marks the anniversary of Perpetua's death. While we're aware of persecution, our first-world bubble makes us forget the plight of suffering Christians. Perpetua went from riches to rags for her faith. Her story strengthens us in case our time ever comes!
Nicholas: “The Man Behind the Myth”
Happy St Nicholas Day! Did you know there was an actual Christian named Nicholas? His generosity inspired the legends that evolved into Santa Clause. Rather than distracting us from Jesus, Nicholas challenges us to remember Him more!
William Tyndale: “Father of the English Bible”
Yesterday we remembered those who serve our country. Let us also remember those who serve our Kingdom. William Tyndale gave his life translating the Bible into English. We owe him more than we can imagine!
