මතෙව් 1:19 සම්බන්ධව නිදහස් කියවීමේ සැලසුම් සහ පූජනීයත්වය

When we think of the Christmas story, often our minds go to Jesus first. While he is the main figure of Christmas, who are all of the people who were part of the story? What can we learn about them, and how do their individual stories point to a bigger picture?

The holidays feel hopeless for so many people. Can we avoid the trap of a self-centered Christmas and follow Jesus’ example of selfless love? Join Luis Palau for this seven-day Advent devotional and become inspired to represent Jesus, placing the needs of others before our own. Let’s remember that His gift of life is for all people, and we can help everyone receive it.

In this Advent devotional for men, we look at the Nativity story, focusing on the different men involved in the birth of Christ and what we can learn about being godly men from their examples! Written by J.R. Hudberg.

Jesus’ birth is much more than a simple story we tell at Christmas. Jesus’ birth is the foundation of our faith; without this miraculous birth, there is no Savior. Through this 7-day plan, watch clips from the iBIBLE animation of the birth of Jesus to witness this world-changing event for yourself. Dig deeper with us into the shepherds’ visit to the manger, the census that caused Joseph and Mary to travel to Bethlehem, and more to understand the true significance of Christmas.

Biola University's Center for Christianity, Culture & the Arts is pleased to share the annual Advent Project, a daily devotional series celebrating the beauty and meaning of the Advent season through art, music, poetry, prayer, Scripture, and written devotions. The project starts on the first day of Advent and continues through Epiphany. Our goal is to help individuals quiet their hearts and enter into a daily routine of worship and reflection during this meaningful but often hectic season. Our prayer is that the project will help ground you in the unsurpassable beauty, mystery and miracle of the Word made flesh.

Christmas Miracles invites you to experience the true miracle of Christmas through daily reflections.

If you’re longing to go beyond the usual holiday traditions and activities, this YouVersion plan invites you to a richer, more meaningful connection with what Christmas is truly about.

Embark on a seven-day journey to see the grand story of Scripture with fresh eyes. This reading plan, based on The Jesus Bible Study Series, guides you through the Bible's six acts: Beginnings, Revolt, People, Savior, Church, and Forever. Each day you will discover how Jesus is the common thread tying the entire narrative together, from the first page to the last. Through daily Bible readings, a brief devotional, and thoughtful reflections, you will explore your own role in God's story and deepen your connection with the Creator who has a plan and purpose for your life.

In a world that often feels cold, chaotic, and distant, this study brings us back to what our hearts long for most—a Savior who draws near. From the cradle to the cross to the promise of His return, Jesus has always come close. Not to condemn but to rescue. Not to remain distant but to dwell with us. In this Bible study, you’ll journey through key passages of Scripture that reveal the nearness of Christ at His birth, in His mission to save sinners, through His sacrifice on the cross, and in the hope of His glorious return.

Lighting an Advent candle is a beautiful tradition: an act of faith declaring that darkness doesn’t win because the Light of Christ overcomes it.

Preparing for Christmas takes on many different forms for us all. Although we might become entangled by the flurry of decorating, family, cooking, or wrapping gifts, we must not miss the true celebration. Since the sixth century, Advent has served as a time of preparation for the event of Christmas. It reminds us to prepare our hearts as well as our homes for the glorious celebration of Christ’s birth. The hymn writer said, “Let every heart prepare Him room.” Truly, we must set aside time and make room for the Prince of Peace to reign in our busy lives. He alone is the One who brings true hope, love, joy, and peace.

Life presents so many individuals with numerous challenges. One may feel that God has called them for a special purpose but aren’t sure what to do or how God’s plan will unfold. In the Determined to Follow Jesus Bible plan readers will discover in scripture accounts where individuals were determined to follow Jesus in their uncertainties and how their obedience and faith produced victorious results. 

When Jesus was born into human existence, it was the most epic interruption to human history that has ever happened. God loves us enough to punctuate history in human skin; not as a king, president, or noble warrior, but as a helpless newborn. This reading plan studies the people surrounding Christ’s birth and their response to (or role in) this divine interruption on the timeline of history.

Our Advent plan is guided by the lyrics of “Joy to The World." The phrase "heaven and nature sing" serves as a reminder that the Lord is coming! This carol was inspired by Psalm 98 and emphasizes the reasons for our celebration. We provide a devotional and reflection that starts each Sunday – all in anticipation of celebrating the arrival of Jesus and His triumphant return.

For centuries, people had looked forward to the coming of the Messiah, the Savior that God had promised. But when He actually came, people could hardly believe it. His coming turned out differently than they had expected. This reading plan looks at four announcements surrounding Jesus' birth and four reactions to them. Will you read along?

Reading the Bible is a powerful habit often missing in the lives of many Christians. While most Christians understand that they should read their Bible, many aren’t sure how or why. Life gets hectic and Bible reading quickly gets accidentally squeezed out. Our goal is to help you grow in your love for the Lord, His Word, and to be empowered with the tools to get the most out of your time spent in the Bible.
