ADVENT
Advent is a season of waiting, a time of expectation and preparation as we
celebrate the arrival of Jesus—our Savior, our Hope, our King. Isaiah 9:6
declares, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will
be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” This season reminds us that just as the
world once waited for the Messiah, we now wait with the same longing for His
presence in our lives and His promised return. Advent is an invitation to slow
down, to reflect, and to make room for Jesus in the midst of the busyness. It’s
a call to awaken our hearts to wonder, to embrace His peace, and to carry His
love into the world. This month, may we prepare Him room—not just in our
celebrations, but in our hearts—knowing that the hope of Advent is not just in
His coming, but in the truth that He is Emmanuel, God with us.
WORSHIP
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
Leaders, please add context for those individuals that may not have read the devotions and answered the reflection questions in the book this past month. The heart behind this time is to connect and encourage! We want to share in this month's victories and lift each other up if there is discouragement.
#1 If hope means “a confident expectation,” then what should we be confident about? What is God doing “in you,” and what does it mean to be “in Christ”?
#2 Isaiah also said in 9:7, “Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end.” If this is part of the promise of Advent, then what should we be looking for?
#3 If Christ represents God’s greatest gift to the world, then what should that mean to us? How can we reflect the Advent of Christ to the world around us?
