Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Isaiah 9:6

A short series of devotions for sportspeople at Christmas.

The vocations represented in the characters of Christmas can teach us a lot about God and how our work is a means of co-laboring with “the newborn King.” In this four-day plan, we’ll look at the vocations of the innkeeper, King Herod, the nameless manger builder, and Jesus himself to draw out applications for our own work today.

Seven hundred years before Christ was born, Isaiah prophesied the Messiah would be called a Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. Only in the divine foreknowledge of God could all of these titles be perfectly fulfilled in the person and work of Jesus Christ. This Advent, be awed and amazed at the Wonderful Counselor who’s a wonder of a counselor. Oh, come, let us adore him!

From Compassion UK to you: Give yourself a moment at the start of each week in Advent to pause in wonder at the Lord Jesus Christ coming to Earth as a human baby. We pray that by doing so, you will experience the true and lasting joy of knowing the fullness of God’s love for you this Christmas and always.

Why does Christmas slay? That’s the question we are going to be answering as we explore the gift that is the Christmas story. Christmas slays because God dwelt among us. Jesus is the ultimate gift, a Light in the darkness. So come along as we celebrate the gift of Jesus and experience the joy and the magnitude of the Christmas story.

A four-part series for Advent featuring Isaiah's prophecy of a coming Messiah. Together, we remember that Jesus is the Wonderful Counselor with Supernatural Wisdom. He is our Mighty God, unlimited in His Ability to do what He wills. He is the compassionate Everlasting Father, the Giver of good gifts, and Jesus is the Fountain of deep well-being, our Prince of Peace.

When we read the Bible, we read about real, historical people who claim to have met God, in person. We too can have an encounter with God by just looking at Jesus in the Bible. A single day in his life, death, and resurrection are more than enough to get us to hope again. This is a resource from Christianity Explored Ministries.

Life around the holidays is filled with endless to-do's and expectation for perfect traditions for our kids. For military families, add on a deployment or PCS, and the stress piles on.

As a writer, mother, and growth-minded individual, I am always looking for opportunities to learn. In the Bible, Jesus taught his followers using parables—simple stories to illustrate spiritual lessons. He is still doing this for me today.

Worship through each week of Advent with us in scripture and song. Come along as we study what it means to embrace Advent Hope, Peace, Love and Joy in anticipation of Christ's birth and ultimate return.
