Advent

Advent invites us to journey through the darkness to discover the light, the incarnate Word of God who "shines in the darkness" (John 1:5). This plan focuses upon the weekly themes of Advent—hope, peace, joy, and love—and serves as a guide through each week of the season. It is taken from our book, Dawn, with reflections for every day of Advent available within the Dwell Bible App.

Rahab and Ruth never expected to be in the lineage of the Son of God.  Zechariah was simply showing up for his turn in the temple when an angel showed up too, announcing old Zechariah and old wife would have a baby!  Augustus Caesar sent out a decree to tax the world, and ended up fulfilling a prophecy. Yet God was at work in all of these people and situations.  

Advent - God Knows What He's About

We invite you to join us in preparing room in our hearts for Christ. It’s the cry of our hearts to which God responds with His Son, “Emmanuel” - God is with us. Giving time and attention to the coming Light of the world can spark a tiny hope, ignite a thrill of joy and give us a glimpse of love in a time that otherwise may be exhausting, overwhelming and stressful.

What does it mean for both heaven and nature to sing? How does the Advent season reflect the reality that Jesus came not only to save the world but to save the entire cosmos? This plan walks us through five days of reflecting on these truths during Advent.

Rejoice! Immanuel- God with US!

The very first songs about the birth of our Savior were recorded in the Gospel of Luke and were sung by 1st-century Jews: Mary, Zechariah, Simeon, as well as a stunning angelic choir whose sound must have been out of this world! 

Join us as we prepare for the celebration of our Savior and dive into God's Word about why we can REJOICE!

Christmas for Kids: 12 Days of Peace

Beyond the Christmas movies, nativity scenes, and gift promotions—it’s pretty safe to say that there’s a sense that there should be more to the Christmas season. There might be more to the Christmas story than the one we’re told. The Christmas story is one that we have to experience for ourselves.
