I would recommend you watch the three parts in several different sessions so you have time to reflect on the content between each. They are designed to flow sequentially from one segment to the next. They are designed to be spread over several days, so there. is some overlap/review in each segment.

The final segment is our deeper dive into scripture. You. may. want to read the scripture ahead of time and/or have your bible available.

This week, we pause to remember who God is and what He has done for us.  As we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Jesus' arrival as a gift to all humanity, let's stir up in our hears and homes a sense of anticipation.  May God's spirit transform the days leading up to Christmas into a time of holy anticipation; preparing our hearts, as we faithfull await the chance to celebrate the arrival of our king.
Scripture (click on the scripture and it will open):


As we wait for God's plan to unfold, ask God to give you the patience you need.  You can also ask Him to remind you of the peace we can access when we take time to still ourselves & remember that He is God!
