Isaya 40:10

Dwelling in the presence of God is marked by waiting, being unhurried, and humility - and yet, all of those things can be so incredibly difficult. Inspired by the song "Doorkeeper" from CXMMXNS + Kory Miller, join us for a 3-day journey through God's word.

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 good story has a plot twist—an unexpected moment that changes everything. One of the biggest plot twists in the Bible is the Christmas story. Over the next five days, we’ll explore how this one event changed the world and how it can change your life today.

While we should be thankful every day for the grace upon grace that God has shown us, the Christmas season often makes us feel even more grateful for this great news. Enjoy these five prayers written by Pastor Scotty Ward Smith for you and your family to enjoy during Advent as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. @scottywardsmith
