Isaiah 29:14

Many Christians believe the only way to fight sin is to grit our teeth and rise above temptation. But you can’t fight sin with your mind; you must fight it with your heart. Based on the book Rewire Your Heart, this ten-day look at some of the most important verses about your heart will help you discover how to fight sin by allowing the Gospel to rewire your heart.

As we walk towards Holy Week, let us draw nearer to the true King, receiving Jesus on His terms and embracing the peace and salvation He offers. Let’s prepare our hearts to receive all God has for us as we study the steps that led up to and included the cross.

This Advent Guide comes from students, faculty, and staff at Belmont University. Advent is that season of waiting that carefully and purposefully helps us to realign our priorities and to glimpse, anew, our place before God. Our humble hope is this guide helps people focus more fully on Jesus Christ through the Advent season.

As we head into the season of Advent, it’s easy to be swept away with all the plans of Christmas, family times, food, and gifts. It's also full of emotions, pain, and loss for many of us. Advent is a season of waiting. Trusting in a good God who holds our times and seasons. Advent. Wait. Hope.
