A Weary World Rejoices — an Advent Reading Plan

Journey with Pastor Micah E. Davis as he uncovers some of the heralded (and unheralded) heroes of the Christmas story. The birth of Jesus was more than a neat, cozy, Nativity scene. Instead, Micah pulls back the curtain on the immense amount of faith shown by some particular individuals and the immense amount of power demonstrated by God and His angels. Invitation is at the heart of the Christmas story. 

The Trailblazers of Christmas

Dear Reader,

Christmas is a time to reconnect with hope, joy, love, and peace. Inspired by festive memories, I wrote this Advent devotional as a reminder that we are always welcome back to Jesus’ arms. 

I invite you to join me in this personal devotional, starting Sunday, December 1. Each week we’ll explore a theme, ending on Tuesday, December 24. I hope you'll join me in setting aside time weekly to reflect and prepare your heart for Christmas. 

May these reflections bring you closer to the true meaning of the season.

Merry Christmas,  
Matthew

Immanuel

Christmas is a time to pause, ponder, and praise the gift Jesus.

Much of our loss of peace comes with the financial pressures we feel when the emphasis of the season is on buying gifts.This plan will help you focus on what really matters at Christmas.

The Light of the World shines from the dawn of Creation to the End of Days. From the beginning of time to the one bright and shining Star of Bethlehem, God, in his vast love for us, has made a way. He made a way for us to clearly see and follow one light, one way, one truth. Jesus.
