Advent

The Greatest Gift Given is a six-week study designed to prepare our hearts to celebrate the greatest gift: Jesus Christ. It focuses on the character of God, our great Giver, and what it means to live a life of gratitude. As we move into the season of Advent, we’ll study some gifts God gave us in Jesus, each corresponding with the weeks of Advent: hope, faith, joy, and peace.

Love God Greatly - the Greatest Gift Given

The Light of the World shines from the dawn of Creation to the End of Days. From the beginning of time to the one bright and shining Star of Bethlehem, God, in his vast love for us, has made a way. He made a way for us to clearly see and follow one light, one way, one truth. Jesus.

Come, Let Us Adore Him: An Advent Reading Plan by Paul David Tripp

In this Advent season, it is a meanigful time for us, as Gentile believers in the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to ask ourselves: what is our identity? Are we rooted in the whole word of God – including the prophecies of the Old and New Testaments? Are we looking for the coming of the Messiah, the Light of the world (John 8:12), who will reign from Jerusalem 'in the midst of His people Jacob'? Join us for daily reflections this Advent as we prepare our hearts and look forward with anticipation.
