Psalm 72:8

Christmas is a reminder. It pulls us back to the center, to what matters most and where we belong. In the broken places, in the waiting, in the hoping, we are not alone. God has come to dwell with us. In this 5-day devotional, journey with Sandra as we pair scripture with classic hymns and songs from her new album, “Christmas.”

This study invites you to prepare your heart for the long-awaited Savior. During the season of Advent, which means “arrival,” we prepare for the birth of Christ and acknowledge His fulfillment of God’s promises. In this devotion, you’ll explore ten prophecies that foretold Jesus’ birth, each one providing a glimpse of God’s master plan in action. Each prophecy highlights God’s faithful character and reminds us that His plans for us are always full of hope. We hope these reflections help you reconnect with the wonder of Jesus, “God with us,” Emmanuel.
