¶“Behold, I am creating new heavens and a new earth; And the former things [of life] will not be remembered or come to mind. [Is 66:22; 2 Pet 3:13; Rev 21:1] “But be glad and rejoice forever over what I create; Behold, I am creating Jerusalem to be a source of rejoicing And her people a joy. “I will also rejoice in Jerusalem and be glad in My people; And there will no longer be heard in her The voice of weeping and the sound of crying. “No longer shall there be in it an infant who lives only a few days, Or an old man who does not finish his days; For the youth who dies at the age of a hundred, And the one who does not reach the age of a hundred Will be thought of as accursed. “They will build houses and live in them; They will plant vineyards and eat the fruit. “They will not build and another occupy; They will not plant and another eat [the fruit]. For as the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, And My chosen [people] will fully enjoy [and long make use of] the work of their hands. “They will not labor in vain, Or bear children for disaster; For they are the descendants of those blessed by the LORD, And their offspring with them.

During Advent, we remember that Jesus is God’s Star, heralding God’s love and forgiving power to us. Each devotional in this series is for one of the Sundays leading up to Christmas. The fifth, and final devotional, is for Christmas Day. Use these short reflections around a meal table, or on your own. More than anything, lift your eyes to God’s Star –Jesus – as your Hope this season.
Our big God doesn’t make small people—so don’t get in the way of the greatness God has for you! This week’s devotional from Pastor Stephen Chandler shows us how to orient your passion and gifts toward the deeper purposes of God, where true greatness awaits.
Advent serves as a season of both reflection and anticipation. Though the traditional Advent season begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, this 5-day plan can be done over any five days during the Christmas season. We’ll dive into various Scriptures, each corresponding to spiritual themes of hope, peace, joy, and love. These themes deepen our understanding of how we are called to await the coming of the Lord.
