Advent

Onan sought pleasure without generating children for his brother, disobeying God. Jesus, our elder brother, calls us to generate spiritual children, not just for our personal satisfaction. This five-day devotional will guide you to reflect on how to fulfill this call with faithfulness.

The Call to Generate Spiritual Children

With the birth of Christ began the story of our new birth. The birth of our new hope. A Savior, all-powerful and yet willing to take on the form of a baby to make a way for us to come to the Father. A perfect plan for our rescue and redemption.

Focus on Christ

Is there a “right way” to celebrate Jesus during Advent? Do you have to "do all the things" in order to check the Advent box? This Advent, go deeper into the mystery and majesty of Emmanual, God with us, and invite God to reveal his past, current, and forever presence in the world and in your life as we wait, yes, but also receive Him right now.

Advent: Christ Is Coming!

Advent, the season of looking towards the most memorable birthday, is such an exciting time. And hidden within the Christmas story are a multitude of treasures, so many examples of God’s great love and involvement with us.  In this Mini BigB Advent edition film resource, Brian (the puppet) and Dave generally have a lot of fun but also provide a little something for us to ponder in this busy season.  This is a great resource for 6-11 year old children and for anyone with a childish sense of humour.

Advent - the Gift Devotional

Advent is a term that means “a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the coming of Christ.”

In this 24-day plan, you will look at some of our favorite Christmas traditions and see how we can use each one to point back to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Essential Journey to Bethlehem provides you with one short scripture reading each day followed by a reflection question or two designed to help you see how God promised the world a Savior and then kept that promise.  Join us on the journey from Old Testament prophecies about Christ's birth to the blessed stable in Bethlehem where he was born.
