Are you looking forward to the Christmas season?
The Christmas season can get busy—very busy. Though it’s a season of joy, the pace of life can get overwhelming.
Even things we love about the Christmas season, such as time with friends and family or crossing off Christmas lists, can easily become the main focus rather than what the Christmas season is really about.
Do you find that during the holiday season, it can be easy to lose sight of Jesus?
The weeks leading up to Christmas are typically fast-paced and focused on going and doing. But Advent is about slowing down, waiting, and preparing. We slow down and meditate on the state of the world without Christ and the darkness and sin that Jesus came to remove and destroy. We wait with longing and hope for the celebration and joy that Christmas brings, and we prepare our hearts and our homes for Christ’s arrival—now, through the Holy Spirit, and in the last days when Christ returns.
Come and join in Awakening Wonder | Experiencing the Nearness of Jesus, where you are invited into this centuries-old practice of Advent—the intentional anticipation of God’s presence with man. During this season of Advent, we’ll join together with Christians around the world to prepare our hearts to celebrate the incarnation—the accomplishment of God taking the form of a human and dwelling among us.
This study was designed to help us meditate on and marvel at Jesus’s incarnation, the wonderful truth that Jesus took on flesh and came near to us.
Awakening Wonder | Experiencing the Nearness of Jesus is a 4-week study that will guide you to:
Discover God’s presence throughout Scripture that culminates in the person of Jesus Christ.
Experience the nearness of Jesus, promised and made available to you.
Put Jesus at the center of your Christmas season.
Seek God’s presence daily and rest in God’s presence in every situation.
Key themes: Advent, Christmas, Jesus
