Advent

Advent is a term that means “a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the coming of Christ.”

In this 24-day plan, you will look at some of our favorite Christmas traditions and see how we can use each one to point back to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Most Christmas stories begin with the cry of a baby in a manger, but for this story will begin three months earlier in a small mountain village just south of Jerusalem near the town of Hebron.  The story will begin as you watch a young, tired, and very pregnant girl walking up the road to the house of Elizabeth and Zechariah.  That’s where you will begin your journey to Bethlehem with Mary and Joseph.

Christmas: The Epiphany

During the Advent season, it’s easy to become bogged down with the busyness of Christmas without stopping to reflect upon The Reason for it. This Advent, let’s pause to focus on our Savior. With a four-day plan from Loop via Gather Ministries, allow Jesus to reveal new truths about His birth & His daily presence with us.

The Advent Season // Finding Jesus in Christmas

Advent is a four-week plan meant to draw our attention to the humble commencement of the Savior of our lives. This study includes four stories from Matthew and Luke. We learn God’s divine plan for the birth of Jesus Christ and experience what it was like to be present at these events. The question and answer format can be used for family devotions, group discussion, and self-study.

Advent - Oh, Come Let Us Adore Him!

"All is calm. All is bright." This busy time of year can feel anything but calm or bright. Yet, the season of Advent calls us to stay alert to the peace and light Christ brought in His birth and His eventual return. To help us sharpen our gaze, we will incorporate artwork from the Abide Bible alongside Advent Scripture verses to prepare our hearts for Jesus' arrival.
