How God Used Men in the Bible

Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture & the Arts is pleased to share the annual Advent Project, a daily devotional series celebrating the beauty and meaning of the Advent season through art, music, poetry, prayer, Scripture, and written devotions.  The project starts on the first day of Advent and continues through Epiphany. Our goal is to help individuals quiet their hearts and enter into a daily routine of worship and reflection during this meaningful but often hectic season. Our prayer is that the project will help ground you in the unsurpassable beauty, mystery, and miracle of the Word made flesh.

Join us on a 30-day journey of mindset transformation. The provided passages and questions will tackle important concepts, like how to make the gospel front-and-center in our lives, how to avoid distractions that pull us away from God, and how to leave behind past mistakes and live in the hope that God gives to those who follow Him.

It's also really hard to know where to start - so let's look at it together.

Your Life // Optimized for What?

Through Jonah’s journey with God, we can discover a bigger story- the story of God’s love and mercy for the whole world! Like a puzzle where every piece is unique and important to create a wonderful picture, we each have a part to play in God’s story which He wants us to explore with Him. (Bible Study for ages 12-18)
