Advent

At the end of each year, we have the chance to reflect on everything that's happened and all of the people around us. There’s so much we can be thankful for every year — even if things didn’t work exactly how we planned. God has given us so much, and the birth of Jesus is a great way to focus on all of the gifts we’ve received this year.

Voices of Advent: 4 Famous Encounters With Jesus

Don't get lost in the holiday shuffle! As we deck the halls, let's not forget the real reason for the season. Christmas is about celebrating the arrival of the one and only Jesus Christ. While we cozy up to the sound of carols and tales of His life, let's also soak up seven thoughtful devotions that honor His many titles and roles.

He Shall Be Called

The glory of God is something we have heard about but something we take for granted by virtue of its familiarity. This Christmas we hope that you will revisit this familiar yet poignant truth about God while allowing it to change some or all of your perspective.
