Advent

Why was Jesus born? This may seem like a simple question, too familiar to ponder. But as you prepare for Christmas this year, take time to reflect on the deep meaning and purpose of Jesus's birth for your life, and for the whole world. This 5 day series was written by Scott Hoezee, and is an excerpt from the Words of Hope daily devotional.


Why Jesus Was Born

It was the most significant birth in the history of the world. The longed-for Messiah, the Savior, had come. And He was wrapped in cloths lying in a manger. Helping you reflect on these glorious truths is the goal of this Advent reading plan. Each day offers a Scripture reading, a brief reflection and summary of the passage, and a suggestion for prayer.

To Us a Son Is Given

In these devotionals, I pray you’ll discover the true Cost of Christmas. On Christmas Day, when we’re surrounded by
family, the tree lighted and the gifts scattered around the
living room, give thanks to the One who gave Himself for you. -Jack Graham

Cost Of Christmas

During Advent, we remember that Jesus is God’s Star, heralding God’s love and forgiving power to us. Each devotional in this series is for one of the Sundays leading up to Christmas. The fifth, and final devotional, is for Christmas Day. Use these short reflections around a meal table, or on your own. More than anything, lift your eyes to God’s Star –Jesus – as your Hope this season. 

Adore Him: One Star One Hope 

In this 25-day Advent devotional, we'll look at the story of Christmas, starting with Genesis all the way through Matthew and Luke 1 and 2 and explore what it means that Jesus is Immanuel, "God with us."



Christmas: God With Us

A 5-day devotional based on the song “Royal Son.” Each day will include a space for stillness, Scripture, considering a devotional thought, pondering questions, and activating what you just read with practical next steps. Because this is considered an Advent/Christmas song, some suggestions will pertain to the Christmas holiday.

Royal Son

Christmas is a great time to look closer at ourselves and see how the reality of Jesus coming to earth changed our lives. Heaven invaded earth and forever changed it. Our lives may be hard and complicated but in no way is it pointless with Jesus in it. Will you allow heaven to invade your life and live with a greater awareness of God’s presence and purpose for your life?

When Heaven Met Earth

Join us during the Advent season on a 5-day journey to explore every good gift that God has given through Scripture and stories from around the world. Walk through the themes of a good life, the good news, good deeds and good gifts found in the book of James.

Every Good Gift: A 5-Day Advent Devotional

As you journey through this Advent season, pause each week to rediscover the hope, peace, joy and love that can be yours because of the miracle of the first Christmas —  Jesus moving into our neighbourhood.  May that miracle become a reality for us all this Advent as we allow Jesus to move into our homes, families, relationships and into our hearts.
