We may intend to make Christ the center of Christmas, but when we wait until December to focus on His birthday, it?s easy to become tangled in Christmas lights, holiday baking and festive gatherings. Then in January we?re left wondering if we experienced that illusive ?true meaning? of Christmas. This year, revisit the Christmas story anew through the Old and New Testaments, learn the significance of the symbols, enjoy stories behind the familiar carols, and gather ideas for how to make the holidays ?holy days.?
Preparing my Heart for Advent is a five-week Bible study to complete in November with accompanying personal devotions for December. It?s perfect for Bible study groups and individual study. Reserve November and December to prepare your heart; may your Christmas be filled with joyful anticipation.
