When the angelic chorus filled the skies that first Christmas night, they declared, “Glory to God in the highest heaven, and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests” (Luke 2:13-14).

Through seven devotional reflections, this reading plan is a reminder that whether through humble acts of kindness or bold conversations of faith our lives can be a herald of hope for others.

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 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.

If you want to know who Jesus is, look at how he entered the world. Who did he show up for? How did he arrive? Who got the invitation? Every detail matters—because who Jesus was at the beginning still shows us who he is today.

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.

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!
