The season of Advent has just begun. Advent is a time for the Church to anticipate the Christmas celebration of Jesus' birth as we also look ahead in anticipation of His return.
If you've not already started one, an Advent reading guide may help encourage you to keep this focus during what is so often a busy time of year.
New for 2023, "The Weary World Rejoices" is now available as a free e-book from the Gospel Coalition.
For other downloadable options, "Good News of Great Joy" and "The Dawning of Indestructible Joy" are available in various formats from Desiring God.
A 31-day Advent Scripture reading plan is available to follow with a free ESV.org account.
For kids, "The Jesus Storybook Bible" has a free downloadable Advent kit, which includes music, coloring pages, ornaments, memory verse cards and more.
Whether you utilize any of these options, or simply enjoy your own time with the Lord in Scripture, I pray you find great joy and encouragement in
remembering all we have in Christ today and forever. Praise the Father for the birth and forthcoming return of His Son, Jesus.
