Jesaja 40:3

Every good story has a plot twist—an unexpected moment that changes everything. One of the biggest plot twists in the Bible is the Christmas story. Over the next five days, we’ll explore how this one event changed the world and how it can change your life today.

Drawing on James Spencer's book titled Useful to God: Eight Lessons from the Life of D. L. Moody, this Bible Plan examines eight characteristics evident in the Scriptures and in the life of 19th century evangelist Dwight Moody (e.g., surrendered, prayerful, humbled, undistracted, and studious). A free guide including these reflections along with activities and additional devotional content is also available for download from D. L. Moody Center.

Hierdie leesplan volg die tema van die Eksodus-weg deur fundamentele verhale in die Ou Testament, sleutelvertellings oor Johannes die Doper, Jesus — en ander gedeeltes waar die hele skepping verlossing ervaar. Saam stel hierdie gedeeltes die eksodus nie as een gebeurtenis voor nie, maar as God se primêre manier van redding – ’n uitweg uit die duisternis, deur herskepping en 'n nuwe lewe in.

The weeks before Christmas are full of joy and anticipation, and they’re a great opportunity to reflect on Christ’s birth. Help your children countdown to Christmas with this 28-day reading plan! Each day features a short scripture reading and an engaging activity that will help your family remember what God did for us this season.
