Christmas Plans

Christmas is filled with wonder. Still, its promise can be lost in must-do lists, preparing for celebrations when provisions seem slim, or the advent of sometimes-messy family relationships. Let's invite the Holy Spirit to reveal God’s gifts for us by Unwrapping Christmas refreshments from Luke's Gospel. Realizing that in this lifetime, we will only begin to scratch the surface of who Jesus is and what He has done.   

Unwrapping Christmas - Viewing the Nativity Through Luke's Eyes

At Christmastime, there's always a lot for us to look forward to — sometimes impatiently. But you know the saying, "good things come to those who wait”? It's true for Christmases now, but it was true on the very first Christmas as well, when God's long-awaited plan began to unfold. In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we’ll hear more about God's plans for us and the whole world.

Good Things

Music is powerful and can stir emotions deep within us. This Advent season, take a closer look at your favorite Christmas carols as you prepare your heart for the birth of Jesus. In the middle of the hustle and bustle, take a few moments to slow down and allow His love to wash over you. This Christmas, pause and ponder the miracle of Jesus' birth.

Wonders of His Love: An Advent Devotional Inspired by Christmas Carols

Jesus reveals himself in Scripture as creator (at the beginning of time), carpenter (with his birth into the home of Joseph), gardener (at the resurrection), and king (in the new Jerusalem). This plan will lead you to a deeper appreciation for each of these appearances and what they mean for the work you do each day. 

Jesus the Creator, Carpenter, Gardener, and King

Through David’s life, we learn that regardless of our upbringing or status, God has incredible purpose for our life. Readers will understand that everyone makes mistakes, but our mistakes are not what define us. God’s plans for our lives will be accomplished, no matter what or who tries to stop it.

King David for You

In this fourth and final reading plan in the Infinitum Christmas Series, we progress from ‘Space for Awe’ (week 1) and ‘Liminal Space’ (week 2) and ‘Lectio Liminal’ (week 3) to ‘Awestruck & Awesome’, a consideration of the remainder of Luke’s Christmas story through the lenses of the Infinitum postures of surrender, generosity, and mission.

Everywhere, festive lights illuminate the streets, the fragrance of pine and cinnamon fills the air, and for several weeks, Christmas carols have returned to the radio.
