Christmas Plans

As we enter the Christmas season, we are all eager to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the point in history where God descended into humanity to bring life to a broken world. Each day leading up to Christmas, we will provide an overview of the biblical significance of a location in Israel, along with a devotional prompt that will connect that location with the life of Jesus in Scripture.


Advent in Israel: The Places of Israel & the Story of Jesus

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

This plan follows the prophecies about the Messiah and then the life of Jesus. During this advent season as MyLocal church, we want to look at the life of Jesus and his incredible message to humanity. We believe Jesus is the Messiah prophesied about in the Hebrew Bible: Emmanuel, 'God with us'. In this winter season we remember hope despite the circumstances. 

The Advent of Jesus

Let the songs of the first Christmas turn your heart toward God’s glory. Reflecting her own love for the season, Nancy DeMoss Wolgemuth offers meditations on the first two chapters of Luke’s gospel.  This reading plan shines new light on the ancient yet inspiring songs of Elizabeth and Mary. May they lead you to contemplate the loveliness and essence of Christmas.

Does your family have a nativity set? Nativities can be more than toys or decorations—they can teach our children about the people God invited to join heaven in celebrating Jesus' birth. Join us for this six-day Advent plan for families featuring devotions from the CSB One Big Story Bible. Each day will focus on a key person at the nativity and a key truth we learn about God from them.

During the Christmas season, we celebrate the long-awaited arrival of Christ. But we also look forward, to the day when he will come back. This Advent Devotional will guide you through readings from the Old and New Testaments as we learn what the first and second comings of Jesus mean for us today.

The King Is Coming

This devotional has been written to help people to hear and receive the simple and timeless message of Jesus – that He came from Heaven to earth, as the light of the world, the Prince of Peace, our Living Hope that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. All are welcome, and there is always ROOM FOR MORE.
