San Mateo 2:10

The Christmas story is so familiar to those young and old. The manger scenes, shepherds, and wise men are all a part of a narrative that has been retold for over two thousand years. It’s easy to think it has nothing new to teach us. Yet, the word of God is living and active - it works in us in new ways every time we digest it. -Vertical Worship

The story of Christ's birth is central to our celebration of Christmas. This reading plan chronicles the humble beginnings of a Savior the world had been anticipating for centuries. This short collection of readings connects us to the arrival of Emmanuel, a God who is with us.

Advent este un plan de patru săptămâni menit să ne atragă atenția asupra începuturilor umile ale Mântuitorului vieților noastre. Aflăm despre planul divin al lui Dumnezeu pentru nașterea lui Isus Hristos și experimentăm cum ar fi fost dacă eram prezenți acolo la aceste evenimente. Formatul de întrebare-și-răspuns poate fi utilizat pentru servicii religioase în cadrul familiei, discuții în grup și studiu personal.

The birth of Christ, His advent, marks God's ultimate plan for our redemption. In Christ, we see the fullest picture of God's hope, peace, joy and love. God's Word is the truth by which we know and walk with Him daily. It is our hope that this guide will encourage and facilitate personal time spent in the Word and provide a resource for families with children to do that together.
