Advent

Christmas is the perfect time to look back and reflect on all that God did for us in sending Christ to our rescue. As you read this devotional, I pray that you will remember your own rescue and walk into the New Year with the confidence that He will rescue you again from everything that you will need to walk through on the road that lies ahead.

Rescue

While preparing for the holidays at the end of each year, it is easy to forget to practice gratitude intentionally. Grab your journal, color pencils, paints, art and craft supplies, or maybe even just a pen and a paper; and begin a meaningful 24-day journey this Advent of practicing gratitude through creative journaling. You can also ask a group of friends to join your gratitude journaling journey!

Journaling Gratitude

Advent is a time of spiritually preparing our hearts, celebrating the birth of Jesus, as well as looking forward to His Second Coming! Advent begins on the Sunday closest to December and ends on December 24th. This devotional is taking the four Sundays before Christmas to reflect on this sacred time. In this study, we will also include activities that can be done alone or with the family.

Have you lost your peace during the elections in the U.S., the pandemic, the riots, the lockdowns, and the normal stresses of everyday life? In this reading plan you will find out, how to get peace in this special time of the year.

Advent: The Road to Peace

This year, as we face a different kind of Christmas following a very hard year, we all need reminders that our joy begins (and ends) with the love displayed from the manger to the cross. Jesus’ birth on that seemingly unremarkable Bethlehem night is our hope for today. Even as there’s pain in the night, joy still comes from a baby born that first Christmas morning. 

Joy Comes in the Morning

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. 


Light of the World

The aim of this devotion is to help you put a little bit of "Awe and Wonder" back into your celebration as you contemplate and celebrate the birth of Jesus from a child-like faith. During this special time of Christmas celebration, may you prepare your heart to prepare Jesus even more room all year through.

The Wonder of Christmas

Christmas is simple...God became man...but are we so familiar with the story of Christ’s birth that we lose interest and keep doing what we always do during this Christmas season? Join me as we slow down, do less, and intentionally spread the great joy of the Gospel while we wait in anticipation of celebrating our Savior’s birth.
