Isaiah 9:4 ಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ಉಚಿತ ಓದುವ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಆರಾಧನೆಗಳು

In this reading plan we will look at Isaiah 9 and learn about the Christmases Corrie ten Boom celebrated in her childhood; before wartime and in concentration camp Ravensbrück 1944. Corrie wrote about these Christmases herself in ‘Corrie’s Christmas Memories’ (1976).

If you haven't guessed it yet, in this final Advent devotional plan, Dr. Mark Rae will take us through the fourth traditional word associated with Advent: PEACE. The word translated as peace in the Old Testament is the Hebrew word shalom, which means "everything as it should be." Jesus came to line up everything the way God meant it to be – Jesus is our shalom.

At Christmastime, Advent calendars serve as tangible reminders of expectation slowly moving toward fulfillment. Likewise, the Old Testament records how the failures and weaknesses of God’s people created a longing and a need for a perfect King to come. This four-day plan reminds us that Jesus’ birth wasn’t an isolated event but the fulfillment of God’s promise to establish His kingdom forever. In Christ alone we find our long-expected, perfect King.

When we read the Bible, we read about real, historical people who claim to have met God, in person. We too can have an encounter with God by just looking at Jesus in the Bible. A single day in his life, death, and resurrection are more than enough to get us to hope again. This is a resource from Christianity Explored Ministries.

Worship through each week of Advent with us in scripture and song. Come along as we study what it means to embrace Advent Hope, Peace, Love and Joy in anticipation of Christ's birth and ultimate return.

This five-day family devotional focuses on the events leading up to the first Christmas. Each day, there will be the option to play the compelling free biblical game app Guardians of Ancora. As you read the Bible and talk with God, you will be encouraged to explore this exciting way to meet with God and discover stories about Jesus. Enjoy sharing your family adventures together.

The most important moment in the history of the world was when Jesus, the Light of the World, became flesh to dwell among us.  Angels announced his arrival, poems were written, shepherds ran and Mary sang! Come with us on a five-day journey as we examine His light, how it inspired those around Him and how it impacts us today.

For some, Christmas time can be full of grief, tragedy, hurt, and division. Yet Christmas celebrates that God became a human and stepped right into the middle of our hurting, angry, chaotic world to bring us peace—peace among people and, even more importantly, peace with God. Join us this Advent season in looking at the peace brought by Christ.

The word advent simply means “coming.” The Advent season refers to a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the coming of Christ at Christmas. Traditionally, the church has set aside the four Sundays before Christmas as the season of Advent. This plan contains an order of prayers and readings for the four Sundays in Advent and for Christmas Eve.

This five day devotional is geared towards helping you to engage with scripture in quiet reflection through this special season of Advent. Four of these sessions follow the Sunday Advent Candle lighting, then a Christmas eve reading of the Christmas story. We invite you to use these in facilitating group/family engagement or for your personal time of devotion. Feel free to use written meditation or the accompanying audio.
