Advent

Journey through the 28 days of Advent by exploring every good gift that God has given through Scripture and stories from around the world. Walk through the themes of a good life, the good news, good deeds and good gifts found in the book of James.

Every Good Gift: A 28-Day Advent Devotional

The Bible often tells us that Jesus was “moved with compassion.” What does that mean, and how can it inform our lives today? At Christmas, we focus on one of Jesus’ biggest moves of all: He became flesh and “moved into the neighborhood” (John 1:14). This Advent, we invite you to explore your global neighborhood and see how Jesus continues to move with compassion in the world today.  

Move With Compassion: A 7-Day Advent Devotional

The birth of Jesus changed everything. But what does this pivotal event in history mean for you? This month the Horizon Bible Reading Plan journeys through messianic prophecies about Jesus, His birth and the power it holds for today. Whatever this season brings for you, it is our prayer that this Christmas, you would see the birth of Jesus in a new light.

In this fourth and final reading plan in the Infinitum Christmas Series, we progress from ‘Space for Awe’ (week 1) and ‘Liminal Space’ (week 2) and ‘Lectio Liminal’ (week 3) to ‘Awestruck & Awesome’, a consideration of the remainder of Luke’s Christmas story through the lenses of the Infinitum postures of surrender, generosity, and mission.

Week 4 Christmas Challenge, Awestruck & Awesome.

Christmas is simple...God became man...but are we so familiar with the story of Christ’s birth that we lose interest and keep doing what we always do during this Christmas season? Join me as we slow down, do less, and intentionally spread the great joy of the Gospel while we wait in anticipation of celebrating our Savior’s birth.

Dear Reader,

Christmas is a time to reconnect with hope, joy, love, and peace. Inspired by festive memories, I wrote this Advent devotional as a reminder that we are always welcome back to Jesus’ arms. 

I invite you to join me in this personal devotional, starting Sunday, December 1. Each week we’ll explore a theme, ending on Tuesday, December 24. I hope you'll join me in setting aside time weekly to reflect and prepare your heart for Christmas. 

May these reflections bring you closer to the true meaning of the season.

Merry Christmas,  
Matthew
