The season of Advent and the anticipation of Christmas Day calls our minds and hearts to the birth of our Savior over two thousand years ago. As we celebrate His coming in the flesh, we are invited to reflect on the weight of His arrival. What did Jesus come to accomplish? What are the ways He radically transformed the world and His people?
He is here. He is with us. He brings true hope, peace, joy and love in the flesh. Let us rejoice, because He is the One the world is waiting for. Redeeming grace has come to us fully in the person of Jesus, so we remember and celebrate what He came to do, and we fix our eyes on His coming again.
She Reads Truth is a worldwide community of women who read God's Word together every day. Founded in 2012, She Reads Truth invites women of all ages to engage Scripture through curated daily reading plans, as well as online conversation led by a vibrant community of contributing writers. This community of “Women in the Word of God every day” represents a long list of cities and countries, a variety of backgrounds and traditions, and countless real-life stories. But there is a commonality that binds us: we believe God's Word is Truth. So we read. Every day we read a new passage together—working our way through books of the Bible, topics that matter, and seasons of the Church calendar. We engage with God's Word and with each other. And we keep coming back, on the hard days and the good days, because God and His Word never change, regardless of our circumstances.
I liked this study. I enjoyed having specific readings each day and space to write my own prayer. This study definitely helped me get into a better habit of prayer. I took a star away because I wish there was a little more "learning" or explanation of the scriptures. It was just to read these then write prayer. I would have liked a little commentary in between.
This study had elements of anticipating what will come while finding hope, peace, joy, & love in what has already come - “God with us!” Such a relevant message for me right now!
Exceptional. Scripture-interpreting-scripture is a fantastic and way to learn about and experience Advent. When both the Messianic prophesies and Revelations become accessable because you see the Jesus in them, Christmastime is transformed into the magical season it's supposed to be. Our 5th (of many, hopefully) She Reads Truth Advent Study because of this only-scripture perspective.
Advent - my favorite time of year. The reminder stories of why we needed a Savior, and the hope that comes with a future with Him. And the reflections of a year and all that has been experienced. Cheers 2024!
