yōhanaḥ 10:28

The Bible is a book of redemption, freedom, and hope. Within its pages are characters dynamic and full of grit—broken men and women looking for answers. In a way, they’re a lot like the current and former prisoners who authored the devotionals you’re about to read. We hope you are encouraged and inspired by voices from the church behind bars. May their testimony set us all free.

There are times we have a promise from God, but we don’t see our life lining up with the promise God has given us. Or there are times we reach a crossroads in our life, relying on God to speak direction into our lives, and we only hear silence. This 7-day devotional will speak to your heart about how to move in God’s Will when God seems to be quiet.

Christmas is a time of great joy, signaling the birth of Jesus, our Savior. There are many prophecies throughout the Bible of the coming of Jesus, and through this devotional, we’ll take a look at seven of the names God uses in Scripture to announce His coming. We’ll explore how Jesus embodies each of these names and is just as relevant for us today as when He walked the earth.
