යෙසායා 61:4

We are excited about this time of year. Christmas!!! Joy to the world the Lord has come. This holiday should be one to remember. Although, many of us have gone through a season where we may have lost a loved one or even went through a divorce. We have great news for you, Jesus is still here for you and He has a gift worth looking forward to receiving.

How many of us have said this year will be different? My prayer is that it really will be. God designed us with a specific purpose. And the life He's given us is meant to be lived pursuing that purpose. Not looking back or standing stagnant, but relentlessly going after Him with passion and expectation. My prayer is that this devotional aids you in that pursuit. Ok, Ready, Set GO!

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.

Every person craves sense. We want to know where from and why we are here, what’s wrong with this world, is there hope and how that all is going to end. In this short plan we’ll dive into four great acts of God’s story – Creation, the Fall, Redemption and Restoration. It’s not just some theological scheme, but the live story — and God invites everyone in. And if we get this story right, we’ll be able to get a clearer view of not only God, but ourselves and our place in this world.
