2 Samuel 7:16

It seems we’re all in need of a good hug, real connection, and something delightful to celebrate right now. Our prayer is that this Advent devotional will offer you and your family a way to connect, learn about the real Christmas story, and celebrate Jesus’s birth with new traditions, dinnertime stories, bedtime conversations, and family activities. We hope this Christmas “hug” brings beautiful memories to your home this Advent season!

Friendship with God is all about growing your relationship with God. Throughout scripture God has many names. Comforter, Lord, Protector, Provider and on. One of the things He called Himself that really hit me hard was that He called Himself my friend. What could life look like if we live like God was actually our friend? This changed my life and I hope it will change yours as well!

Sejak awal mula, Allah membuat perjanjian dengan umat-Nya, perjanjian untuk menyatakan karakter dan rencana-Nya bagi dunia. Ia membuat janji-janji, perjanjian bukti kesetiaan-Nya, yang menjadi alasan-alasan dari iman dan pengharapan. Dalam Kristus, semua perjanjian Allah itu tergenapi.
