Advent: A First City Devotional

A Note From Pastor Steve and Beth

Christmas often sneaks up on us in the blur of to-do lists, parties, and Amazon Prime deliveries. We want to pause and reflect, but it feels nearly impossible to slow down enough to really see Jesus in the middle of it all.

That’s why we created this Advent guide.

Our prayer is that as you journey through these four weeks, you’ll discover that Advent isn’t about checking off one more reading plan. It’s about creating space in your heart to welcome Jesus in a fresh way this Christmas.

So grab your coffee, find a quiet corner (or at least lock yourself in the bathroom if that’s the only quiet place in your house), and let’s get started.

Christmas is coming... but even better, Jesus has come. And knowing that changes everything.
