Advent Devotionals
Advent is the season of waiting for Christ, and this series gives you one short reading for each day of December. Each devotional pairs a verse from the Christmas story (Isaiah, Luke, Matthew, John) with a reflection and a prayer, so the busiest month of the year still has a quiet place in it. Read them in order from December 1, or pick up wherever today falls.
