Luke 1:20 ಗೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ಉಚಿತ ಓದುವ ಯೋಜನೆಗಳು ಮತ್ತು ಆರಾಧನೆಗಳು

Rahab and Ruth never expected to be in the lineage of the Son of God. Zechariah was simply showing up for his turn in the temple when an angel showed up too, announcing old Zechariah and old wife would have a baby! Augustus Caesar sent out a decree to tax the world, and ended up fulfilling a prophecy. Yet God was at work in all of these people and situations.

In this verse-by-verse plan through Luke chapters 1–2, excerpted from Paul Chappell's devotional book "Disciple," recapture the meaning of Christmas and the love of Christ for you. As these brief devotions draw you closer to the Lord, you’ll be challenged and encouraged to follow Jesus more closely and to walk with Him in practical ways throughout each day.

This devotional is written to be used in the 25 days leading to Christmas. Commonly referred to as “Advent,” meaning “coming,” these readings look at the arrival of the promised Messiah, Jesus Christ, and anticipate his coming again.

Get in the spirit of Christmas this year by spending the month of December reading through the story of Jesus's birth and finding practical ways share joy and love with others. Complete this plan by yourself or as a family!

It was the most significant birth in the history of the world. The longed-for Messiah, the Savior, had come. And He was wrapped in cloths lying in a manger. Helping you reflect on these glorious truths is the goal of this Advent reading plan. Each day offers a Scripture reading, a brief reflection and summary of the passage, and a suggestion for prayer.

There is no better season than Christmas to dwell on the reason for the season. Over the next 25 days, we will look back at some key prophecies relating to the promised Messiah. We will also observe the lives and circumstances that surrounded the birth of Jesus. Above all, we will see how Jesus makes a difference in our lives both now and forever.

You know, it’s funny. When we read Bible stories, we tend to view the characters as supernatural beings – heroes at the least and almost perfect people close to deities at the most. Neither is probably true. Oh sure, they accomplished heroic deeds and are worthy of admiration, but the truth is they were humans, just like us, with all our foibles and failures, fears, and worries. Maybe it’s time to see them for who they really are and experience what it might have been like to witness firsthand the true Christmas miracle.

Your family will love this 25-day Advent calendar that will take you through the Old Testament, connecting the dots between prophecy and the birth of Jesus Christ. Each day will be filled with questions designed to spark discussion about the Bible, your lives, and the impact we can make on our communities during the Christmas season. Grab a friend and go through this devotional plan with them!

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.

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.
