Celebrate Advent With Us
Advent is a season of preparing our hearts to celebrate the birth of Jesus. This Advent, we invite you to make room for Him through a daily YouVersion devotional and one BibleProject video each week. City Kids will be following along, too, so families can watch the videos together and talk about what they’re learning at church and at home.
Join us as we prepare for Christmas and make room for Jesus!
Why This Matters
The Christmas season can fill our calendars quickly. Advent gives us a simple way to pause, spend time in Scripture, and remember the hope, peace, joy, and love we find in Jesus. It also gives families an easy way to watch, learn, and talk about faith together at home.
What This Is
We’re sharing two resources you can use on your own, with a friend, or with your family: a daily YouVersion devotional and a weekly BibleProject video. We’ll make them easy to find and encourage you to follow along throughout Advent.
Weekly BibleProject Videos
Week 1 — HOPE
November 29 - December 5
Biblical hope is not optimism. In fact, the most hopeful people in the Bible often had very few reasons to believe that things would get better for them any time soon. But biblical hope is based not in circumstances but in the unchanging character of God. Learn more in this video from our Advent series. Click the button below to visit Week 1 of the BibleProject.
Week 2 — PEACE
December 6 - December 12
Peace is a very common word in English, and it means different things to different people. It's also a very important word in the Bible that refers not only to the absence of conflict but also to the presence of something else. In this video, we'll explore the core meaning of biblical peace, or shalom, and see how it all leads to Jesus. Click the button below to visit Week 2 of the BibleProject.
Week 3 — JOY
December 13 - December 19
Explore the unique type of joy to which God’s people are called. It’s more than happy mood. It's a choice to trust that God will fulfill his promises, and it's a joy that is long-lasting and life-giving. Click the button below to visit Week 3 of the BibleProject.
Week 4 — LOVE
December 20 - December 24
The word “love” is one of the sloppiest words in our language, as it primarily refers to a feeling that happens to a person. But in the New Testament, “love,” or “agape,” refers to a way of treating people that was defined by Jesus himself. It means to seek the well-being of others regardless of their response.
