Psalm 89:13

God is famous for interrupting people’s brokenness and speaking a new identity into them. Identity is at the heart of what it means to be human. Today, people think they are free to choose their identity, which leads them to put on masks and personas. But the Good News of Christ says that you, in God’s love, can discover what God says about you. You are who the “I Am” says you are. And only in the identity your Creator has given you, will you live a life of peace, security, and freedom.

Join Paul Tripp for 25 days leading up to Christmas in "The Everyday Gospel Christmas Devotional." Designed to be used during the Advent season, this devotional provides the perfect way to close out 2024 together and prepare your heart as we begin the new year immersed in God’s word.

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.

This reading plan spans one year with daily bite-sized chunks of devotions and scripture to help you stay focused, at a comfortable pace and without overwhelming yourself. As you begin your walk through the bible, you'll start to hear, read, study, memorize, meditate, and apply God's word in your life.
