پلانی خوێندنەوەی بێبەرامبەر و بابەتی پەرستشی پەیوەست بە لۆقا 2:14

Two thousand years ago, a baby named Jesus was born in a small village called Bethlehem. The Bible says this child is where you can find a hope that overflows. In a world that desperately needs hope, finding a hope that overflows almost seems too good to be true. This week, we will explore how Jesus is the way to experience a hope that transcends the highs and lows of a man’s life. Written by Kirk Giles

This seven-day devotional is born out of the author’s own life—moments of joy, pain, and grace—showing how God’s presence is real in the everyday. The main idea is that Christmas isn’t just a once-a-year event, but a spiritual truth to live every day, because Emmanuel (“God with us”) didn’t stay in Bethlehem: He continues to walk beside us in our ordinary moments. The hope is that readers won’t just remember the Christmas story, but relive it, finding Jesus in hardship, light, peace, and joy, recognizing that His presence is still with them.

This week, men will spend time reading the accounts of the Nativity in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. But we don't want to read them thinking we already know the story. We want to explore them as we let our hearts sit in the chaos of the story with Joseph and Mary, and see how God wants men to trust that He has everything under control. Written by Brad Klassen.

Brokenness isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of God’s masterpiece. In this 7-day devotional, Grant walks you through stories of hope, reconciliation, and God’s redeeming power—from the tale of a crippled lamb to historical Christmas miracles and the ultimate gift of salvation. Discover how your limitations, scars, and past mistakes can be transformed into purpose, peace, and new life in Christ.

Preparing for Christmas takes on many different forms for us all. Although we might become entangled by the flurry of decorating, family, cooking, or wrapping gifts, we must not miss the true celebration. Since the sixth century, Advent has served as a time of preparation for the event of Christmas. It reminds us to prepare our hearts as well as our homes for the glorious celebration of Christ’s birth. The hymn writer said, “Let every heart prepare Him room.” Truly, we must set aside time and make room for the Prince of Peace to reign in our busy lives. He alone is the One who brings true hope, love, joy, and peace.

On Christmas morning, we can feel excited when we see a large, beautiful box under the tree . . . but sometimes, the most magnificent gift is the one that’s small and plainly wrapped. Journey with us over the next eight days as we explore how Jesus, the best gift ever, came to Earth in the most unexpected way.

The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is a yearly reminder of Jesus’ prayer for his disciples that “they may be one so that the world may believe” (see John 17.21). The theme in 2017, "Reconciliation – the love of Christ compels us," is inspired by verses from the Second Letter to the Corinthians, chapter 5. The resources for the week have been prepared by members of different churches in Germany.

This walk will introduce you to Jesus and who He is. Take this opportunity to enhance and deepen your understanding of Jesus, the Son of God.

Who is Jesus? What is his character like? Must we be afraid as God approaches us? Is he truly who he claims to be? Is Jesus accessible to everyone? In this devotion we will explore all of this and more.

When Jesus was born into human existence, it was the most epic interruption to human history that has ever happened. God loves us enough to punctuate history in human skin; not as a king, president, or noble warrior, but as a helpless newborn. This reading plan studies the people surrounding Christ’s birth and their response to (or role in) this divine interruption on the timeline of history.

Our Advent plan is guided by the lyrics of “Joy to The World." The phrase "heaven and nature sing" serves as a reminder that the Lord is coming! This carol was inspired by Psalm 98 and emphasizes the reasons for our celebration. We provide a devotional and reflection that starts each Sunday – all in anticipation of celebrating the arrival of Jesus and His triumphant return.

The hope of Jesus was prophesied and earnestly expected for generations. One day, that promise of hope was fulfilled right in Israel’s midst. Everything changed for the entire world at that moment when that dream became a reality. Join us this Christmas as we look at both the promises and their fulfillment through the scriptures surrounding Jesus’ birth!

When you meet Jesus, this changes your life. The Bible describes countless examples of this, and you may recognize it in your own life as well. This reading plan examines some of the encounters people had with Jesus when He was just a baby. Read these stories as a mirror to reflect on your own response to Jesus.

What were you made for? This scripture reading plan from Hope is Alive Ministries examines different people in the Bible and uncovers how they—like you—were made for more.

For centuries, people had looked forward to the coming of the Messiah, the Savior that God had promised. But when He actually came, people could hardly believe it. His coming turned out differently than they had expected. This reading plan looks at four announcements surrounding Jesus' birth and four reactions to them. Will you read along?

How did it all begin? Where did we come from? Why is there so much misery in the world? Is there any hope? Is there life after death? Find the answers as you read this true history of the world.

Journey through the book of Luke with Christian author Mike Raiter and meet our Lord Jesus, His birth and the start of His ministry. Be amazed at His authority over disease and death and hear His call to surrender, repent and be forgiven of our sin, following Him into a renewed relationship with God our Father.

This holiday season, take some time to slow down and reflect on God's goodness and the precious gift of Christ with us.

When life hits like a tornado, where do we go? When we’re anxious about the future, to whom do we turn? Over thousands of years, God’s people have faced setbacks, even disasters. Their experiences show us ways we can respond and how our faith in God can remain intact—and maybe get even more real.

The Christmas season highlights the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. How can we worship deeply in this season? Through this 9-day devotional, we want to provide the story and spiritual meaning behind several Christmas songs you know and love, and maybe some new ones as well! This Plan features several worship pastors from Life.Church Worship who are a part of the live Christmas album, Gloria.

This 9-day devotional invites you to rediscover the miracle of Christmas through the lens of Heaven's gift. From Mary’s surrender to the Magi’s pursuit, from the shepherds’ awe to the wonder of incarnation itself, each reflection reveals how Jesus—Emmanuel—is with us in our waiting, our weakness, our worship, and our wonder. Written by Jemima Gleeson this devotional is rooted in Scripture and pastoral insight. 'Gift of Heaven' offers a fresh perspective on the Christmas story and a renewed invitation to draw near to the God who first drew near to us.
