Isaiah 40:3

Every good story has a plot twist—an unexpected moment that changes everything. One of the biggest plot twists in the Bible is the Christmas story. Over the next five days, we’ll explore how this one event changed the world and how it can change your life today.

Drawing on James Spencer's book titled Useful to God: Eight Lessons from the Life of D. L. Moody, this Bible Plan examines eight characteristics evident in the Scriptures and in the life of 19th century evangelist Dwight Moody (e.g., surrendered, prayerful, humbled, undistracted, and studious). A free guide including these reflections along with activities and additional devotional content is also available for download from D. L. Moody Center.

The weeks before Christmas are full of joy and anticipation, and they’re a great opportunity to reflect on Christ’s birth. Help your children countdown to Christmas with this 28-day reading plan! Each day features a short scripture reading and an engaging activity that will help your family remember what God did for us this season.

Адвент – це не лише очікування свята Різдва. Це час, коли ми дивимося в обличчя темряві світу і водночас бачимо, як сходить Світло. Світло, яке жодна темрява не може подолати. У ці сім днів ми відкриємо, що Христос прийшов не лише колись – Він приходить до нас сьогодні. Цей план допоможе відчути Різдво не просто як подію минулого, а як живу надію, що оновлює особисте серце, родину та країну.
