Christmas Plans

As the people in the story of Jesus’ birth are transformed by God’s salvation, we are also challenged to receive his salvation. God’s message is working its way out through us: through our humanity, and our yearnings and longings, and God’s presence in the midst of them. So, lean in and listen. Make room for God, and as he dwells within you, the world will see Jesus in the flesh.

Making Room in Advent

In this 7-day plan, you'll be encouraged and reminded of the great love of God for you! As you read and study through one of the main names that God uses to reveal Himself to us, you will understand that "Immanuel" means God is with us!

The holiday season can surface many emotions. Making decisions, shopping, and preparing to host family members can be stressful. As you enter this season, it is essential to make peace a priority.

Stories of the nativity are important, but the story of why Jesus came should involve so much more than a manger scene. Focusing on one chapter a day through the book of John will reveal the beauty of who Christ is and why His birth was so important. In the flurry of Christmas, keep 
your eyes on Him. Come and see why Jesus is our greatest gift.

Come and See

With twenty-five entries, if you start on December 1, you’ll end this devotional on Christmas Day. Once you’ve read a day together with your children, discuss the main topic. See if your children know these songs, or the stories behind the songs, or the reason we sing these songs.
