2023 Advent Devotional

It is the experience God wants us to associate with Jesus! It is the emotion God desires for us to enjoy when we hear good news, especially good news of a Savior! • What is your first response when you hear good news? Is it skepticism? In what ways do you make sure the good news is real? How do you live with the hope of good news? • It is only natural for humans to have fear some of the time, especially after the fall. How do you move past fear in your life? What is the spiritual antidote to fear that leads us to joy? • Name or write down the truths of Christmas you can reflect and meditate upon. May you experience the joy of Christmas with the good news of Jesus Christ! STEPHEN LAY Pastor of Men’s Ministries, Connect, & Leadership Development 79
