Free Reading Plans and Devotionals related to Matthew 1:18

Reflect on the wonder of the incarnation – the infinite life found in the small infant Jesus and how he invites you to do wonderful work with him, right where you are. There were no fanfares when Jesus was born. The surroundings were far from royal: squeezed into a small home in a small, provincial town called Bethlehem. Yet this birth – the most wonderful news of all time – has infinite implications. In this 25-day journey, reflect upon the wonder of the Christmas story and be inspired to join in God’s wonderful work in your everyday life.

During a season that often feels busy and stretched thin, we invite you to pause and remember what matters most: following Jesus. The birth of Christ is more than a story we tell in December. It's the beginning of our Savior's life on earth — and the pattern for our own life with Him. Our prayer is that these 25 days prepare your heart to celebrate His birth, deepen your walk with Him today, and stir your hope for His return. We’ve also created a companion worship playlist – search “Following Jesus Through the First Christmas” on Spotify to listen.

Plan Description: Join Dr. Ken Boa as he guides you through the season of Advent. This 25-day plan walks you through the Scriptures, which will offer the “thrill of hope” that has come, because of which a “weary world rejoices.”

Advent is often described as a season of joy—but what if you feel anything but joyful? O Come All Ye Faithless offers an honest journey through the stories of Scripture for those who feel hopeless, joyless, anxious, or lonely. Over twenty-five days, you're invited to slow down, reflect, and encounter the God who meets us where faith feels thin. Each day includes Scripture, a reflection, and a prayer to help you discover that hope grows in silence, joy emerges through surrender, peace is born in trust, and love is revealed in presence—the true invitation of Christmas.
