મફત વાંચન યોજનાઓ અને Matthew 2:12થી સંબંધિત મનન

By mid-December, many already hate Christmas. We are tired of the carols and the parties, and our tree is starting to die. There are a lot of reasons that people hate Christmas. But, what if all of the hatred is because what we hoped for isn’t reality? This year, set aside the hate and come expecting something new as we dive into Advent themes of the season.

As we look towards Christmas, can you feel that festive feeling building on the inside? This devotional is an advent based devotional, as we look with anticipation towards the birth of Christ. All of the Christmas festivities we know and treasure are founded on our expectation and hope in Christ, and what joy it is to celebrate his coming on Christmas Day!

This Advent season, anticipate the celebration of Christmas with oral Bible stories. Listen to a story based on Scripture, reflect on its themes and journal with the Lord. May you be encouraged as you prepare your heart to celebrate the birth of our King Jesus!

Most of us have experienced hospitality and welcome in homes and hotels. Yet hospitality goes beyond the walls of where we are and moves towards others. Hospitality is the work of welcome and is a posture we carry with us wherever we go. This reading plan walks through the times in the life of Jesus where he was vulnerable and rejected, when he received hospitality and repaired through it, and how he expands the space of welcome.

We all want to hear from God. But sometimes, it’s hard to know what that means or how to listen. In the Christmas story, God spoke to ordinary people through dreams, angels, Scripture, and the quiet stirrings of the Spirit. Each one had to decide how to respond. Over five days, we’ll look at how Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and others heard from God, and what that can teach us about hearing and following him in our everyday lives today.

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.
