Advent

For the next 25 days, join us in the reading plan as we put on the light, one candle at a time.  To remind ourselves to take off those things that we do not need and wrap ourselves in what is coming: the Light of the World.  It is the season of Advent, a time of wonder and anticipation, a time to ponder the miracle and mystery of Christ’s birth!

25 Prayers For Advent

In this short Infinitum Christmas series reading plan, we make space for awe. 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.

Christmas: The Worship Initiative

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: A New Perspective

The Christmas season can be an incredibly stressful time of the year.   With all the busyness of the Holidays, it’s easy to lose focus on the true meaning of Christmas, the coming of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. The Christmas at Graystone Bible Reading Plan continues our study through the gospel of Luke and helps keep our focus on the life and teaching of Jesus Christ.

Advent - We Have Found The King

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.

The Advent Project: Week 2
