Season of Advent
Devotional Resources
December can often feel like an overwhelming flurry of commitments and Christmas preparations. We race through the days, trying to fill them with all the earthly joys of the Christmas season. But in the midst of the busyness, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed and drained. This Advent, we invite you to slow down and find true joy and rest in the real reason for the season. Advent is a time to prepare our hearts for the birth of our Savior Jesus. He alone offers the joy and peace that our hearts long for.
To help you and your family focus on the true meaning of Christmas, we’ve put together a resource of free Advent devotionals. We pray this will be a blessing to you as you draw near to Christ and celebrate His coming.
