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 1

We all know that we should read our Bible, pray, and be the church, but what if we actually started doing that? Zúme Accountability Groups are small groups of 2 to 4 people that don’t just want to be hearers of the word, but doers! If you want simple and practical “HOW TO” steps to be and do what Jesus called, commanded, and created us for then start this plan.

Oh, it's so easy to go-it-alone. No mess, no fuss, totally optimized. But optimized for what, exactly? Surely not for fulfillment or community or brotherhood. This 6 day plan invites you to meditate on the value of community, something we know is especially critical for men of all ages. It's also really hard to know where to start - so let's look at it together.

Your Life // Optimized for What?

This daily bible-reading plan is designed as a companion for those using the disciple making material, Multiply. As you read the selected daily passages of Scripture along with the Multiply Material we hope you will know Jesus Christ more fully as you make disciples. For more free disciple making resources and tools from Francis Chan & David Platt please visit www.multiplymovement.com.
