In this 5-session Advent study, take a closer look at the Christmas story and the hope revealed in the lives of people in the Bible whose obedience and yeses to God’s plans, even in difficult times, gave them great joy and led to God’s glory in their lives and generations to come. As we explore the hope that Jesus brings, we'll learn to trust God's care for us as His beloved children in both times of abundance and times of lament.
No matter what you’re facing, at just the right time, in the fullness of time, God will act on your behalf too. In fact, He already has. In the advent season, we celebrate God’s kindness to us, even as we wait on the future hope to come.
Since Covid I’ve fallen out of step with things that help grow my Faith (not going to church, praying often, reading the Bible or doing a devo). I decided a week into advent that I wanted to start getting into a routine again. So I started this like Dec 9th and finished a few days past Christmas. I love sitting by the tree and starting my day off studying God’s word. This study was a great start back. Wasn’t too long or too short or too hard. I learned quite a bit - like how there are some not so happy parts of the Christmas story. But the underlying message of life can be hard but God is faithful rings true at Christmas and always.
