Christmas: Love’s Rescue Mission
God didn’t send directions from heaven; He came to us. Discover how Advent reveals love that rescues, heals, and transforms.
Advent Devotions
Prepare your heart for Christmas with Advent devotions focused on Christ. Reflect on hope, peace, joy, and love through daily Scripture and meaningful reflection.
Joy in the Night Shift
Advent joy enters hard places as God meets the weary, misunderstood, and waiting in the night shift of life (Luke 2:8–11).
Advent Week 4: Trusting the Great Composer
Depending on the context, the Greek word for “demonstrates” in verse 8 has been translated “to stand near in approval,” “to show, prove, establish, exhibit.”
Advent Week 3: Good News Came at the Darkest Time
Shepherding is one of the world’s oldest occupations. By trade, their lifestyle would’ve been one of humble and meager means. Advent week 3. Joy.
Advent Week 2: Perfect Peace
The Hebrew word for peace is shalom. This word occurs over 250 times in the Old Testament. It refers to relationships between people, nations, and God with men.
Advent Week 1: Hope Requires Risk
What is hope? Is it mere wishful thinking? Why do some people seem to spill over with hope while others can’t even find the cup?
Advent Reading Week 4: PEACE
There is a peace that surpasses understanding, and advent reminds us that peace is the direct correlation of being in a right relationship with the “Prince of Peace.”
Advent Reading Week 3: JOY
Advent is a time to be reminded that we have the capacity to choose joy over all of our varying emotional responses.
Advent Reading Week 2: LOVE
Have you ever found yourself guilty of judging who is worthy or unworthy of God’s love? I sure have been rebuked for this many a time. God can save even the most unlikely and unlovable of candidates, and He doesn’t need our permission to do so.
Advent Reading Week 1: HOPE
“Just because it’s Christmas, doesn’t mean your heart don’t hurt.” It’s fitting to be reminded that everything in your world doesn’t have to be tidied up to worship the King. You don’t have to check your wounds at the door of the stable before coming in to bow down at that manger.
