Advent Resources

Advent Devotionals:

 
 

For the Church:

  • Focus: daily preparation and anticipation to appreciate and adore our Savior’s birth.

  • “The wonder and awe of the Christmas season can easily get overshadowed by lights, tinsel, bows, and paper―not to mention last-minute trips to the mall and visits to the in-laws. In all the hustle and bustle, we often lose sight of what’s most important. This book of daily readings for the month of December by best-selling author Paul David Tripp will help you slow down, prepare your heart, and focus on what matters most: adoring our Savior, Jesus.”

  • You can pick up a copy at our mid-week prayer meeting on Wednesday, Dec 2nd, or order your own printed or kindle copy here.

For the Family-Print

  • Focus: to gain a deeper appreciation of God’s goodness and develop a stronger sense of gratitude for the ultimate gift of salvation

  • Targeted Age Range: Elementary

  • “Toys and games are great, but the best gifts from God last a lifetime and beyond. Help your children understand the real meaning of Christmas with this 25-day discovery of the good things God has given us, leading up to the greatest gift of all, Jesus Christ. From creation to Christmas, your little ones will gain a greater understanding of what God has done and how all of Scripture points toward Jesus.”
