Keeping a spiritual mindset through the holidays might seem impossible when so much of the season has been commercialized, but it’s easier than you might think. By making a few intentional changes to cultivate more peace, as well as viewing the sights and sounds of Christmas through a biblical lens, you too can keep your focus on the real reason for the season—Jesus. By RaeLynn DeAngelis

Step into the wonder of the season with a devotional series designed to guide your heart from the quiet awe of Christ’s birth to the bold hope of a new year. As we journey through Advent, we realise the thrill of hope found in the birth of Emmanuel - a hope we can carry as we prepare for a new year to come. Anchor your soul in the One who came to dwell among us and still leads us forward.

Our kind of Christmas isn’t working. The status quo of our holiday season pushes us into busyness, distraction, and exhaustion instead of the rest and relief that Jesus came to bring. This Plan redirects us to God’s kind of Christmas, where we slow down, catch our breath, read everything the gospels say about the birth of Jesus, and remember everything that is ours through faith in our Prince of peace.

Advent comes from the Latin adventus , meaning “arrival, approach.” During this season leading up to Christmas, we reflect on the longing of God’s people for the Messiah, which was fulfilled in the arrival of Jesus—God made flesh, Light from Light, wrapped in swaddling clothes and laid in a manger. Advent has another purpose, too: drawing our spiritual gaze toward the future when, as we affirm in the Nicene Creed, Jesus “will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.” This resource will guide you through both aspects of Advent reflection.

In this 18 day plan, you'll take a dive into scripture and discover the true hope of Christmas.

In this devotional, you’ll find encouragement to recognize the joy that Jesus brought to the world at Christmas and to experience that joy in your own life no matter what your holiday season brings.

“Joy to the world” is a catchy lyric, but real joy can seem totally impossible when life feels messy.

We’ll discover that Christmas can still be a season of joy, even when life feels messy.

Christmas is a story of coming and going. Everyone is heading somewhere. We are drawn to Bethlehem, to see a baby who came to save the world.

This Advent study was crafted to remind us of God’s most precious gift: Jesus
