Advent - a time to prepare

Christmas is approaching. And I want to give you a few ideas of how you can prepare your heart for Christmas. Don’t let 25th December surprise you, but purposefully, intentionally, feed your hearts.

 

(i) Luke’s gospel has 24 chapters. Read a chapter a day through December. You’ll finish it on Christmas Eve!

(ii)  I’m using When the Time was Fulfilled for my Advent devotions this year. You can get a free download here

(iii)  The One True Light by Tim Chester is another great Advent devotional.

(iv)  Read the Christmas accounts in Matthew’s & Luke’s gospels. You could easily read them multiple times through Advent.

(v)  Listen to the carols; think about their words…read their words. Carols teach incredible theology!
