It’s Advent Season!
A time to celebrate the first arrival of Jesus while we eagerly await His return.
Pray about doing this as a personal study, your family devotion during the Christmas season, or as an outreach Bible study in your neighborhood. It can be completed or facilitated in 4 sessions. For example: one session per week after Thanksgiving or one session per day before Christmas. You can also simply customize it per your schedule.
