In this week’s UB Newsletter, we are featuring a devotional entitled “Breathe Life,” inspired by artist Rob ProBlak Gibbs’ wall mural in Roxbury. He describes that, “More than just a title, ‘Breathe Life’ is a philosophy, meant to share energy, and lift-up images that reflect the community back to itself, to greater flourishing.” This message aligns closely with Jesus’ mission as described in John 10:10: “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.”

This devotional is an excerpt from Reservoir Church’s Advent Devotional. As we enter 2025, we invite you to prayerfully use the images and reflection questions below to reflect on what God has done in your life this past year and where you are seeking places for God to “breathe life” in the coming year.
