Lukas 1:30

Slow down and savor time with the Savior this season. Choose to pause and ponder as Mary did, to get lost in the wonder of Immanuel, of God with us. This year, let it be simply Christmas.

Advent: ‘n verwagting, iets wat gaan kom. Jy tel die dae totdat dit gebeur. God wou ons verras; om ‘n “geskenk” te stuur — Jesus! Voor Sy geboorte, het profete reeds voorspel dat iets deur God gestuur gaan word, 'n “takkie” vanuit koning Dawid se stamboom. Tradisie word soms steeds gevolg deur die gebruik van kerse wat hoop, vrede, vreugde en liefde verteenwoordig.

The story of Christ's birth is central to our celebration of Christmas. This reading plan chronicles the humble beginnings of a Savior the world had been anticipating for centuries. This short collection of readings connects us to the arrival of Emmanuel, a God who is with us.

Mary was a mom, like many women. What can we learn from the heart of the woman chosen to bear the Messiah? Read along as Robin Meadows, author and relationship coach, shares from her experiences of launching seven children and living to tell about it.
