Advent

All is Calm, All is Bright focuses on the Prince of Peace and celebrates the Light of the World.  Short devotionals take you from the Old Testament longing for the Messiah through the fulfillment of God's promise in the story of Jesus' birth found in the gospels. Each day's reading brings you one step nearer the heart of Christmas: Immanuel, God with us. 

All Is Calm All Is Bright

In Awe of Jesus: Christmas Foretold in Isaiah

Celebrating Christmas is a tradition many of us look forward to all year. We play music, decorate trees, and throw parties all through December. This Advent reading plan aims to help in those celebrations by exploring the themes of the Christmas story. This plan can be read with friends or as a family (kids too!). Use the “Application Questions” for groups to center the conversation on Jesus. And, for families, use “Next Steps”, to find creative ways to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas. 

Advent: I Love Christmas

This Christmas season, we pause to remember the angel’s announcement: “Good news that will bring great joy to all people.” Through every reading, we discover again the wonder of Jesus, our Saviour, Redeemer, and Hope. As you journey from the manger toward a new year, may His presence fill you with peace, purpose, and unshakable joy. Emmanuel, God is with us.

Finding Freedom: At Christmas

No trips on donkeys. No angels singing. Not even a baby in a manger. Yet, there are still 25 gifts God wants to give you for Christmas. We can find them in a little, six-chapter book halfway through the New Testament. These are The Greatest Gifts, as revealed in Ephesians. Along the way, you'll find the gift of love, the gift of salvation, the gift of unity, and many more. Prepare your heart in a special way this Christmas season by receiving, and giving, God's greatest gifts.

The Greatest Gifts

Immanuel, Prince of Peace, The Humble Servant, Promised Messiah, Our Coming King – Jesus!
