Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
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!"

Pages : 94
Book Description
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

Advent devotional on 1 Corinthians 13, reflecting on the source of authentic, divine, transforming love. Everyone seems to say that Christmas is about love. It’s in the songs we hear as we shop for presents and in the adverts we see on TV. It’s in the cards we send and on the gift tags we write. And Christians can agree. Christmas really is about love, because love came down at Christmas in the person of Jesus Christ. This Advent devotional contains 24 daily readings from 1 Corinthians 13. Sinclair B Ferguson brings the rich theology of the incarnation to life with his trademark warmth and clarity. We'll see what “love” looked like in the life of Christ and be challenged to love like him. Each day's reading finishes with a question for reflection and a prayer. However you're feeling, your heart will be refreshed as you wonder again at the truth that love came down at Christmas.
