Christmas Plans

We all long for peace, especially at Christmas, but it's easy to miss our Messiah's birth in the midst of the holiday rush. Slow down with us in this Abide meditation as we unwrap God's Word and marvel at the gift of our Savior. 

The Gifts of Christmas

While we should be thankful every day for the grace upon grace that God has shown us, the Christmas season often makes us feel even more grateful for this great news.  Enjoy these five prayers written by Pastor Scotty Ward Smith for you and your family to enjoy during Advent as we celebrate the birth of our Savior. @scottywardsmith

28 Days to Christmas

There’s much more to the Christmas story than what is written in the gospels. In fact, the Christmas story starts in Genesis. Threads of the story of the Messiah are woven throughout the entire Old Testament, and the hope of a Redeemer is written on the souls of mankind. Journey through just a few of over 400 prophecies of the Messiah in this 5 Day prayer devotional, and gain a richer view of King Jesus this Christmas.

A Christmas Prophecy Devotional

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.

Journey To Bethlehem

Observe the season of Advent by contemplating Lessons and Carols. Grow in faith by slowing down, reading scripture, and learning songs that deepen your understanding of the incarnation. Scripture and songs are carefully arranged in a sequence that prepares us for the birth of the Christ child.
