A New Hope: Luke 1:1-25
Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught.

Desires: A message from James 4:1-10
We can have desires for good or evil.
They can lead us to love the world and its pleasures, rejecting Jesus. They can result in violent and harmful acts. They can destroy the life and witness of a believer and others. They can dishonour Jesus the one and only Saviour of sinners.
Our desires should be to honour Jesus: ourselves and for others to do so too.
