Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 2:11

God is The Promise Keeper and the birth of Christ is the fulfillment of promises as foretold through prophecies of the Old Testament. The aim of this devotion is to encourage you in your faith as you study some of God’s promises which are a glimpse into the events related to the arrival of Jesus which we celebrate during Christmas.

How will you prepare to celebrate the Savior's birth this year? Many people have traditions such as listening to Christmas music, sending cards, decorating a tree, or reading the Christmas story. During this Advent devotion, we'll be looking at 5 different responses from people who were present for the coming of Jesus and we'll look at how they prepared for His arrival. We'll now look at The Magi’s response.

Guided by faith and the rising of a distant star, the Magi searched for a God who had become flesh. These guided audio meditations will first help you contemplate the dream of Joseph when an angel appears to him. Then a reflection on the gift of God’s one and only Son. And finally, a meditation following the Magi in search of this Child who had come to save the world.

Does it seem like you are looking through a glass dimly? Does God appear blurred, a riddle, an enigma? I pray these guided audio meditations will help you rejoice that there is a time of perfection coming when you will see God with eyes wide open. See God in chance moments with restored vision. I hope you experience new joy even when you can only see ordeals and agony.

Christmas isn't just about baby Jesus. It's about the glad tidings of great joy Jesus would announce from his cross! Join us for three days leading up to Christmas and see what Jesus' birth reveals to us about his Gospel.

Feel like the wonder of Christmas gets lost amidst all of the digital distractions and busyness of the season? This 3-day plan will help you to adorn your heart with wonder. Each day includes a "Wonder Challenge," a short, practical activity that will help to bring some wonder into your life through a reflection on a part of the story of Jesus' birth.

Heaven had a plan from the very beginning. Heaven’s plan was to bring us a Savior; this Savior, though human, was God Himself. Hay held the Savior who would save our hearts. Heaven’s plan began to be unfolded in the Old Testament, centuries before the birth of Christ.

Christmas is simple...God became man...but are we so familiar with the story of Christ’s birth that we lose interest and keep doing what we always do during this Christmas season? Join me as we slow down, do less, and intentionally spread the great joy of the Gospel while we wait in anticipation of celebrating our Savior’s birth.

The celebration of Christmas is less about Jesus being born in a manger and more about Him being born because we matter. God came to be with us because He didn’t want our world to be without Him. He intentionally chose the name Immanuel because He was no longer simply watching us, warning us, and waiting for us to get it right. He was with us. In this devotional, you will be challenged with a fresh perspective as you prepare for the Christmas season.
