Christ and Carols – Advent Devotional

Dear Thirdmill Users, As the season of Advent approaches, we are reminded of the anticipation, hope, and profound mystery that marked the waiting of the world for its Savior. It's a time to reflect, to be still, and to draw near to God as we remember the incredible gift of Jesus Christ to humanity. I'm thrilled to introduce you to our Advent series devotional. This collection has been thoughtfully curated by educator and writer Annette Gulick using Thirdmill’s curriculum materials. Each devotion is an invitation to meditate on the profound truths of Scripture and the transformative power of the gospel. During these times when the world seems to be in constant flux and uncertainty lurks at every corner, let this Advent series serve as a beacon of light, guiding you towards the eternal hope found only in Christ. Allow it to recenter your heart and refocus your gaze on the timeless truths of God's love and the promise of redemption. Remember, every year, as we light candles, sing age-old hymns, and read from Scripture, we are participating in a tradition that stretches back centuries. We join with believers from all eras and all corners of the world, unified in our anticipation and celebration of Emmanuel – God with us. May this Advent series devotional enrich your faith, ignite your hope, and deepen your love for God and for others. Step into this season with expectancy and openness and may the profound truths of the Gospel fill your heart and home with boundless joy. Wishing you a blessed Advent season, Eric
