Ding Dalit 80:18

Advent invites us to journey through the darkness to discover the light, the incarnate Word of God who "shines in the darkness" (John 1:5). This plan focuses upon the weekly themes of Advent—hope, peace, joy, and love—and serves as a guide through each week of the season. It is taken from our book, Dawn, with reflections for every day of Advent available within the Dwell Bible App.

God wants to work in you to effect positive change in the world. The darkness in our world will escalate, yet you have learned how to thrive in uncertain times. Go be the light in the darkness. Prophesy when God speaks and watch things around you change for the better!

God gave David a special promise. His descendants would reign over Israel forever. Biblical history shows us how God kept this promise in an amazing way, despite the unfaithfulness of David’s descendants. He sent Jesus Christ, the ultimate Son of David, who will be King forever and ever — not only over Israel, but over all the nations.

For centuries, the Psalms formed the basis of Jewish and Christian worship. They tell the story of God’s activity in creation and the hope we have in God’s promises. This Bible Plan gathers Prof. N.T. Wright’s insights on key psalms, which give shape to the Psalter and serve as key resources of prayer.
