Weariness can steal the joy from our Christmas journey! Let the Nativity refresh your heart as you walk with Zechariah, Elizabeth, Joseph, Mary and the shepherds in preparation to experience Emmanuel this holiday season.

Christmas for many of us is a time of celebration and community, but for others it can be a time of loneliness and pain. This week Jon Owen (Pastor and CEO of Wayside Chapel, Sydney) reflects on the radical life of Jesus – a life defined by love and a heart for the oppressed and marginalised. There is hope, and we have a part to play.

In this third reading plan in this 4 part Infinitum Christmas Series, we progress from ‘Space for Awe’ (week 1) and ‘Liminal Space’ (week 2) to ‘Lectio Liminal’, an engaging application of the ancient devotional practice called ‘lectio divina’ to the next section of the Christmas story in context of the Infinitum postures of surrender, generosity, and mission.

Spikenard designed The Tapestry of Christmas to inspire individuals, small groups, and families to celebrate the women in the Christmas story.

Choose this plan to discover how these virtues prepare the way for Christ’s entrance into the world.

Sometimes, all of the sudden, unwanted factors come into our lives and try to steal our peace. And often, it's the same ones that attempt to do so over and over again. In this series, I’d like to take a closer look at these factors with you. How can we unmask and disable them once and for all?

We’re filled with anticipation as we lean into this season of celebration with the intention of tuning into the heart of God. Join us for 4 weeks as we: Behold Beauty, Break Barriers, Make Room, and are Surprised by God. Like all the best stuff in life, this journey is best taken with others—so grab a friend or two and your sense of wonder and roll into the Advent Season.

John the Baptist prepared the way for Jesus's life and ministry. This 5-day series traces John's testimony through readings from the Gospels. Just as John was sent to prepare the way for Jesus and point people to him, we have the privilege of also pointing others to Christ. As you prepare for Christmas, these devotionals will help you see how you can be a vessel of God’s love.

Christians are different. They can’t help it. When you’re in Christ and filled with the Spirit, it changes you. This leads to weird ideas and alternate beliefs about reality. This series of 5-day plans uses classic Christian Creeds as a vehicle to explain the Christian worldview compared to the world’s, and help us see reality through Jesus’s eyes

The Christmas season serves as a time to remember the birth of our savior, Jesus Christ. Usually, when our calendar flips to December, our first reaction is to start listening to our favorite classic Christmas carols. But have any of us stopped to think about the depth of the lyrics that we’ve been singing every year since we were little? Join us as we adventure through “Melodies of Hope,” a series of Christmas carols that dive deep into the scriptures that inspired them.

This five-day plan explores various angelic encounters that announced the arrival of the Messiah. We’ll consider Zechariah's doubt, Mary's humility, Joseph's obedience, and the shepherds' exuberance. Angels should not be worshiped, but they model true worship when they sing, “Glory to God in the highest!” This Christmas, marvel with the angels at the Savior born in the city of David who is Christ the Lord.
