Esaya 9:2

In this reading plan we will look at Isaiah 9 and learn about the Christmases Corrie ten Boom celebrated in her childhood; before wartime and in concentration camp Ravensbrück 1944. Corrie wrote about these Christmases herself in ‘Corrie’s Christmas Memories’ (1976).

If you haven't guessed it yet, in this final Advent devotional plan, Dr. Mark Rae will take us through the fourth traditional word associated with Advent: PEACE. The word translated as peace in the Old Testament is the Hebrew word shalom, which means "everything as it should be." Jesus came to line up everything the way God meant it to be – Jesus is our shalom.

Christmas is more than a celebration—it’s a reminder that God brought light, closeness, and hope into our lives through Jesus. This three-day devotional invites you to rediscover the heart of Christmas with simple reflections, personal questions, and clear biblical foundations. Take a few minutes each day to return to the essence of this season and allow its message to transform your heart and your relationships. Perfect for sharing with anyone who needs a reminder of the true light that brings life.

Are you weary? Tired of the rat race? Take a break from the hectic holiday schedules. Advent invites us to still our hearts and welcome the Prince of Peace. Pause with us in this Abide plan as we remember the first coming of Christ. Immanuel, God with us.
