Horizon Church Christmas Advent Bible Reading Plan: The Joy of Every Longing Heart

DAY 10 OF 31

For the remainder of this reading plan, we will spend the Sundays before and after Christmas lingering in the longing, waiting, and expectation of the season by reading a short passage from Scripture.

"The wilderness and the dry land will be glad;

the desert will rejoice and blossom like a wildflower.

It will blossom abundantly

and will also rejoice with joy and singing.

The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,

the splendour of Carmel and Sharon.

They will see the glory of the LORD,

the splendour of our God."

—Isaiah 35:1–2

About this Plan

Horizon Church Christmas Advent Bible Reading Plan: The Joy of Every Longing Heart

“Come, Thou long-expected Jesus, born to set Thy people free.” These words from a beloved hymn capture the heart of Advent: longing, waiting, expectation. Scripture builds our anticipation of our Saviour, God Himself who would dwell among His people and set them free from sin and death. Celebrate Jesus’ first coming as the baby born in Bethlehem and anticipate His second as the glorious King over all.
