Waiting for Christmas is hard! We want to make the month of December more joyful for you and your family. This plan features the first seven days of a 26-day Advent Activity Calendar from Words of Hope. Each day gives a Bible reading and short activity to fill your month with the joy of our Savior. You can find the full version, along with a printable calendar and crafts, online.

Waiting With Joy: An Advent Activity Calendar for Kids

Every Christmas the entire world stops to celebrate the birth of the most important person in the history of the world - Jesus Christ! In "The Boy Who Is Lord" daily devotional, we will study the great details surrounding this life-changing, history-altering, and soul-saving entrance of God into human history as recorded in Luke 1-2. 


The Boy Who Is Lord By Mark Driscoll

When the Christmas story becomes familiar, it loses its initial surprise and shocking details. It’s not just the big picture (God becoming a man in the form of a baby) that is surprising, it’s the unexpected people God chooses to include in the story. What would it look like to read the story through first-century, Jewish eyes again?

Suprised by Christmas - The Unexpected People Cast in the Christmas Story

In this 12-day plan for kids, you’ll get to read all about the gift of peace that comes through Jesus and how we can have that peace in our hearts every single day!

Christmas for Kids: 12 Days of Peace

In this second reading plan in this Infinitum Christmas Series, we explore this liminal space in the context of the Infinitum postures of surrender, generosity, and mission. Infinitum is a way of life centered on following Jesus by loving God and loving others through an emphasis on the habits and disciplines of surrender, generosity, and mission. We aim to see the Bible and also the world through these Jesus-colored lenses.

Week 2 Christmas Challenge, Liminal Space

The shame of barrenness. Diviners. Village obscurity. A child’s naming ceremony. A king’s shocking bloodline. Supernatural dreams. This advent season, fresh African insights illuminate the Bible’s timeless tale. Learn from the continent’s cultures, early theologians, and today’s Christian leaders. Journey through the whole Christmas story, from prophecies about Christ through Matthew, John, and Luke’s nativities. You won’t see the Christmas story the same way again. 

The Christmas Story Through African Eyes

In John 8:12, Jesus says, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” The light of Jesus shines in our lives and illuminates the world around us. His light brings life, clarity, and direction. Jesus shines in our darkness and brings us life. Join me in this four-day Bible plan and let’s learn how the light of Jesus can light up the world around us.

Let There Be Light

On Christmas morning, we can feel excited when we see a large, beautiful box under the tree . . . but sometimes, the most magnificent gift is the one that’s small and plainly wrapped. Journey with us over the next eight days as we explore how Jesus, the best gift ever, came to Earth in the most unexpected way. 

The Wonder Of Christmas

The Christ Tree contains countless sprigs of fir, representing each of us.  
No two sprigs are the same and they come together to form a magnificent sight. Each one is unique, yet an essential part of the whole, just as we are described in 1 Corinthians 12.  
We hope you will join us as we read The One Advent plan and celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior.
