Kwabase Roma 8:38

Do you long for a deeper, more meaningful Christmas celebration? This year, rediscover the gifts of HOPE, PEACE, JOY, and LOVE that God extends to all of us during this busy season. Rediscovering Christmas in the Chaos explores these Advent themes through scripture and readings meant to prepare us to step away from the craziness of the holiday season and truly celebrate Jesus’ birth!

The Bible is a book of redemption, freedom, and hope. Within its pages are characters dynamic and full of grit—broken men and women looking for answers. In a way, they’re a lot like the current and former prisoners who authored the devotionals you’re about to read. We hope you are encouraged and inspired by voices from the church behind bars. May their testimony set us all free.

Questions: When it comes to God, we all have them. Given our comparison-driven culture, one of the most personal questions we may find ourselves asking is, “Why does God love me?” Or maybe even, “How could He?” Over the course of this plan, you’ll engage with a total of 26 Scripture passages—each one speaking the truth of God’s unconditional love for you.

What keeps you from praying big prayers? In sharing her story of God's life-changing answers to bold prayers, Julia Jeffress Sadler brings the challenge to take God at His Word and see Him move like never before. This week, we will learn how to pray with boldness and watch expectantly for God's answers. The true rarity is not in God’s answering big prayers but in our asking big prayers.
