Advent

We’re filled with anticipation as we lean into this season of celebration with the intention of tuning into the heart of God. Join us for 4 weeks as we: Behold Beauty, Break Barriers, Make Room, and are Surprised by God. Like all the best stuff in life, this journey is best taken with others.

Infinitum Advent Make Room, Week 3

Advent is a season of waiting—a time to slow down and sharpen our awareness of what we're waiting for and how we're waiting for it. This plan, from Practicing the Way, explores the themes of hope, peace, joy, and love through the lens of the Christmas story. Featuring reflections from Gemma Ryan, John Mark Comer, Ken Shigematsu, and Bethany Allen, this four-day devotional invites us to discover how God's coming changed everything and continues to transform us today.

Advent Meditations

Fear touches every life—whether through childhood worries, family anxieties, or mistakes we try to avoid. But Advent invites us to hope for a new reality ruled by peace, not fear. The Son of God entered our broken world to comfort us, overcome fear, and bring lasting peace. May His gospel of peace fill your heart throughout this Advent season!

This month’s reading plan follows the lectionary pattern with daily passages from the Psalms, Old Testament, and New Testament, accompanied by Advent devotionals in partnership with 1517.org on the theme of Peace.

Over the next 12 days, we’re going to take a journey through the Christmas story and discover not only why it’s the greatest story ever told, but also how Christmas is truly for everyone! 

Noel: Christmas Is For Everyone

The reflections in this Advent reading plan will help readers to draw close to the Lord this Christmas. As you consider Christ’s miraculous birth and the privilege of knowing Him, you will find your life, love, hope and joy renewed. Each of the five days features a Bible verse, a reflection for the day and a short prayer. 

Joy And Glad Tidings By Nina Smit 

While preparing for the holidays at the end of each year, it is easy to forget to practice gratitude intentionally. Grab your journal, color pencils, paints, art and craft supplies, or maybe even just a pen and a paper; and begin a meaningful 24-day journey this Advent of practicing gratitude through creative journaling. You can also ask a group of friends to join your gratitude journaling journey!

Journaling Gratitude

During a season that often feels busy and stretched thin, we invite you to pause and remember what matters most: following Jesus. The birth of Christ is more than a story we tell in December. It's the beginning of our Savior's life on earth — and the pattern for our own life with Him. Our prayer is that these 25 days prepare your heart to celebrate His birth, deepen your walk with Him today, and stir your hope for His return. We’ve also created a companion worship playlist –  search “Following Jesus Through the First Christmas” on Spotify to listen.
