Draw Near: Part 4, To One Another // Pastor Magrey deVega // December 21, 2025

Mary and Elizabeth were the original collaborators, co-laboring to provide the world with the hope and promise that it needed. In drawing near to each other, they discovered mutual support and joy, and the strength to encourage each other throughout their journeys. In a season where our relationships with those closest to us might be most tested and strained, we are called to practice vulnerability, mutuality, and shared love.

3. How will you prepare for the fresh arrival of Jesus in and through your life?
