How To Use This Book
The word Advent means arrival.
The Advent season is a dedicated time of the year where the people of God remember the arrival of the Savior, Jesus Christ, to the world. For thousands of years, God’s people waited with eager longing and expectation for the One who would come to undo sin’s curse. They groaned for the Savior who would come and right all that sin made wrong. They cried out for the Deliverer who would save them from the sting of death.
Two thousand years ago in a little town called Bethlehem, that person appeared. He did not arrive to shouts of victory. He did not fly in on a chariot of fire. He came quietly, born to an ordinary mother and father. But this was no ordinary child, for He was God wrapped up in a few pounds of human flesh. The Promised Savior was God, Himself; come to put on human skin, live a human life, stretch out His human arms, and die a human death so that all humanity may turn to Him to be saved.
This season, and this worship guide, is meant to aid you as you remember, rejoice, and rest in the sweetness of the Savior’s advent.
This guide is made up of two parts:
Daily Advent Meditations
Weekly Worship Guides
Daily Advent Meditations
The Daily Advent Meditations span 29 days, and are meant to be read during personal devotions in addition to your existing Bible reading plan. You should begin this on Sunday, November 27, the first day of Advent. Each reading is fewer than 20 verses, so please do not rush through them. Rather, read them slowly. Read them multiple times and deeply ponder what the words say considering what the Holy Spirit would show you through them. Allow yourself to be amazed by the wonder of the incarnation of the Lord Jesus Chirst, the Savior of the world.
Weekly Advent Worship Guide
The Weekly Worship Guide is meant to be done weekly in a group. This may be family, friends, neighbors, or a Life Group. In this guide you will find readings, prayers, songs, and activities meant to focus your hearts on the incarnation of the Lord Jesus. Choose one night a week that you know will work for everyone, and set aside 15-20 minutes to work through the guide together. In the midst of busy lives and hectic holiday schedules, it is important that we take time to recenter our hearts on the Lord Jesus.
Certain sections of the guide are assigned to the Leader. For a group doing this together, this will be the group leader or another suitable member. For families, this will typically be a Christian father who will
