This Advent season, we are being encouraged to pour ourselves out instead of wearing ourselves out, but you can't pour out what you don't have in! Join us for an Advent Experiment as we discover ways to fill ourselves with God's hope, peace, joy and love, so that we can share with others. Devotionals are found in Discipleship Corner or linked below.

What if we were to pour ourselves out instead of wear ourselves out this Christmas? The difference is a matter of perspective.

Sometimes we are in seasons of life where we continually pour out and don’t have a choice to fill up. If we are unable to find time to fill up on God’s word or with God’s people or share with others, then something has to change. A person who is filled up can pour out. A person who is empty and dry can only wear out. As we seek to trust God to meet our needs, perhaps he is interested in using us to be the answer to the needs of someone else. The hope, peace, joy and love we have received in Jesus is also the gift God longs for us to share with others.
