Unto Us: Celebrating the Arrival of Jesus

Join us in this 5-day devotional as we celebrate the Gift That’s Freely Given.

Advent: A Weekly Devotional

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

“All generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me,” Mary sang. And she was right. She became the mother of Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God! This gives her a unique position in God’s salvation plan. This reading plan is about Mary, a humble and blessed woman with great faith.

Mary, Did You Know?

The false gods invented by humankind to give definition to a god they knew must exist, were, unsurprisingly, very much like humankind. They had to be cajoled and bribed by acts of devotion to take notice of us. 
But the one true God has taken the initiative and seeks us out––to rescue us back to himself. And that is the Christmas story.


CHRISTMAS: God's Rescue Plan Realised

Peace is a word we often hear at Christmas time. We can hear strains of Silent Night in our head — “sleep in heavenly peace.” Or maybe we see Luke 2:14 quoted about Jesus’ birth: “Peace on earth, goodwill toward men.” But then there’s reality, right? With everything going on in our lives and in the world today, how can we have God’s peace during the holidays? Read on…

He Shall Reign

Jesus is our only true Resting Place. During different seasons of our lives, we can become overwhelmed, stressed, anxious, sad, or even depressed.

This plan is designed to be a very practical help to reclaim our joy, peace, and witness during these difficult times.

Jesus: My Resting Place

For many people, the Christmas season is filled with cultural traditions that make it a memorable time of year. Yet, these traditions can sometimes distract from the biblical reasons for celebrating Christ’s birth, no matter the time of year. This 5-day study points to the ultimate meaning of the incarnation, as outlined in Scripture, and encourages Christians to worship the Savior who was born in Bethlehem.

The Messiah Is Born

Our Christmas story starts with the angel’s annunciation to Mary and concludes with the visit of the Magi.  In these reflections and applications of the Christmas narrative I will mostly refer to Luke, as his is the fullest of the gospel accounts.

At Christmastime, Advent calendars serve as tangible reminders of expectation slowly moving toward fulfillment. Likewise, the Old Testament records how the failures and weaknesses of God’s people created a longing and a need for a perfect King to come.

In Christ alone we find our long-expected, perfect King.

After the angel spoke to them, a great assembly of heavenly hosts praised God along with him. What a vision, what a tremendous glimpse of heavenly apparitions and glory!

As we enter the season of Christmas, let’s make time to get together and celebrate all the reasons that we have to be joyful.

Joy - Experience Joy This Christmas

The celebration of Christmas is less about Jesus being born in a manger and more about Him being born because we matter. God came to be with us because He didn’t want our world to be without Him. He intentionally chose the name Immanuel because He was no longer simply watching us, warning us, and waiting for us to get it right. He was with us. In this devotional, you will be challenged with a fresh perspective as you prepare for the Christmas season.

400 Years of Silent Nights

In this reading plan we will look at Isaiah 9 and learn about the Christmases Corrie ten Boom celebrated in her childhood; before wartime and in concentration camp Ravensbrück 1944. Corrie wrote about these Christmases herself in ‘Corrie’s Christmas Memories’ (1976).

Corrie Ten Boom’s Christmas Memories 

When Jesus was born into human existence, it was the most epic interruption to human history that has ever happened. God loves us enough to punctuate history in human skin; not as a king, president, or noble warrior, but as a helpless newborn. This reading plan studies the people surrounding Christ’s birth and their response to (or role in) this divine interruption on the timeline of history.

Christmas: The Divine Interruption

Make Room: A Devo by Mark Hall From Casting Crowns

Our world in the best of times seems uncertain and upside down. If it wasn’t for Jesus, the Son of God, we would have no hope. Every Christmas reminds us that the gift of Immanuel—God with us—is a gift that keeps on giving. We are never alone, from now until eternity. That is worth celebrating. 

God With Us

We certainly have reason to celebrate when we think of Jesus. In these four days, we'll celebrate Jesus as the Light, Living Water, Hope of the world, and Eternal Life. From all around the world, let's all join in on the celebration this Christmas season! At the end, you'll get access to four 15-minute workouts based on this same Celebrate Jesus! theme.

Celebrate Jesus!

Jesus Christ came to earth for a purpose. His coming was a conscious decision. During the years in which He traveled around the land of Israel and made God's Kingdom known, He also explained why He came to earth. Several times, we read in the Gospels: “I have come to...”. This reading plan aims to trace some of those statements to make us aware of Jesus’ mission.

He sent Jesus Christ, the ultimate Son of David, who will be King forever and ever — not only over Israel, but over all the nations.
