Advent
Christmas: The Lord Has Come
In this special 10-day devotional, we'll look at the story of Christmas, starting back in Genesis 1 leading all the way to the birth of Jesus. Together, we'll see how through of all history, God was moving the pieces into place to bring His plan of redemption to fruition.
Forgiveness and Reconciliation
Forgiveness is a big word, but what exactly does forgiveness mean? And what are the consequences if we don't forgive? And what is the difference between forgiving, pardoning and reconciling? This reading plan is structured like an Advent calendar: 24 “doors” and behind each one a little treasure awaits you about the incredible gift that Jesus gave you for Christmas.
The Greatest Gifts
No trips on donkeys. No angels singing. Not even a baby in a manger. Yet, there are still 25 gifts God wants to give you for Christmas. We can find them in a little, six-chapter book halfway through the New Testament. These are The Greatest Gifts, as revealed in Ephesians. Along the way, you'll find the gift of love, the gift of salvation, the gift of unity, and many more. Prepare your heart in a special way this Christmas season by receiving, and giving, God's greatest gifts.
