Book excerpt: How to focus on Christ during Advent Most Christians agree that Christmas is all about Jesus, yet most of us spend little time preparing our hearts to celebrate Him. Why is this? Partly because we don’t know how. In Unwrapping the Names of Jesus, Asheritah Ciuciu leads readers through the four weeks of Advent (Hope, Preparation, Joy, and Love). Each week: Begins with an interactive family devotional that equips readers to celebrate Advent together Offers five daily reflections that focus on that week's name of Jesus Includes suggestions for fun-filled family activities or service projects This devotional can be used by readers in their own personal worship times or as a tool to engage in family worship during the busy holiday season. Either way, participants will gain a greater sense of awe and wonder at who Jesus is. By focusing on the person and character of Jesus throughout the Advent season, readers will prepare their hearts so that when they admire the live nativity, sit in the candlelight service, or wake up on Christian morning, they can join the faithful who sing from the bottom of their hearts, "O come, let us adore Him, Christ the Lord!"

Download or read book Blue Christmas written by Todd Outcalt and published by Upper Room Books. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Advent and Christmas season is often associated with joy, love, generosity, and unity. But for many people, this time of year magnifies loneliness, anxiety, grief, and despair. While others are enjoying celebrations with their friends and families, those who are hurting often feel even more lost, abandoned, and alone than ever. "Not all Christmases are white; some are blue," Todd Outcalt writes. Blue Christmas is a devotional book for the 28 days of Advent and Christmas Day. Each devotion includes a scripture selection, meditation, prayer, and suggested Advent action. The book also features additional prayers, a "Blue Christmas" worship service, and reflection questions. In these honest devotions, readers will find their fears and realities named and brought into the light of God's love. They will be led to sit with their experiences, acknowledge their losses, and remember Jesus' promise "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted." Blue Christmas reminds us that all of our Christmases, even the darkest ones, can be filled with honesty and hope if we are first willing to sit in silence and bring our deepest fears to God.

Download or read book Awaiting Christmas written by T. J. Torgerson and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Proceeds from this book support the ministry of Goodhope Nazarene It seems that in our immediate gratification culture we begin celebrating Christmas before the Thanksgiving turkey gets cold. This wouldn't be so bad if there were any hint of Christ in our celebrations. The purpose of the Advent season is to delay the celebration of Christmas as much as possible. Focus on the anticipation. Focus on the expectation. Focus on the need we have for the kind of saving that Christ does. This devotional book, with the use of Advent candle readings and the "Jesse Tree," will help you and your family join the Ancient Israelites in waiting for the promised Messiah. This book is designed to be used year after year so that it can become a cherished family tradition. WHAT IS A JESSE TREE? The tradition of the Jesse Tree began in medieval times. It is a visual way to tell the story of the Bible from Genesis to Jesus. Early depictions of the Jesse Tree were made of carvings or stained glass. Over time the Jesse Tree transformed into an Advent tradition that helps us remember how God has been working in human history. During each day of Advent, a Bible story is shared and a corresponding ornament is hung on the Jesse Tree. By the Time Christmas comes your family will have traveled through many of the key events in scripture and will have arrived at the very first Christmas. When Christmas finally comes your family will have a beautiful visual display of your journey together. Kindle Version does not have interior images. Jesse Tree Ornaments available at www.GoodhopeNaz.com/jessetree.html

Download or read book The Christ of Christmas written by James Montgomery Boice and published by P & R Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Christmas story evokes many touching images. Halos, fresh hay, shepherds carrying newborn lambs, and young motherhood in blue homespun. It's enough to bring tears to the eyes of Christmastime churchgoers. But the Christmas story is more than sentimental--it is powerful. It deals with real people, it involves pain, and it is one of the most strikingly unusual stories in all history. Above all, its main emphasis is not on the infancy of Jesus but on the deity of Jesus--and why that deity took the form of an infant. It's a story that still has deep meaning today.
