In our study of the Christmas story, we've found numerous reasons why Advent is a wonderful time of year, as it should be for Christians. Because Jesus has come into the world, there is hope, there is gladness, and there is warmth in a cold place.
As we come to the close of our Advent devotions, we finish where we started: remembering the whole purpose of Christ's coming. Jesus is the child who was born to save the world. That's why He "came into the world," as the apostle Paul told his disciple Timothy.
As we have seen, when we follow God, it's hard to say where we might end up. Joseph, Mary, and Jesus had an incredible opportunity to live out this biblical truth. The angel warned them about the coming bloodletting of Herod, which we read yesterday. We're jumping backward in the story to see what happened just before Herod unleashed his fury on the tiny Bethlehem boys.
The story of Christmas did not start with a manger in Bethlehem. It began long before, in the garden of Eden. The enemy of God, Satan, tempted Adam and Eve to trust him and doubt God. Tragically, Adam and Eve obeyed the Satanic snake over the good Creator.

Playing games is supposed to be fun. But there’s one game you should never play with your spouse. In this video, Matt and Ariel Holcomb explain what this game is and why it can do significant damage to your marriage. Their insights are based on the “Games People Play” devotional from Dr. James and Shirley Dobson’s book Night Light for Couples (page 132).
Sarcasm can seem fun, but when we publicly target our spouse with harsh joking, it’s easy to cause damage. In this new video, Matt and Ariel Holcomb warn that even light-hearted comments can harm a marriage. They also offer biblical solutions to help heal the wounds.
When we look at problems from only our own perspective, we often don’t see the full picture. In this short video, Brenen and Morgan Beeler share a simple way to develop a more clear understanding. Doing this one thing can help us make better decisions with less conflict.
Watch now and have a joy-filled, Christ-centered Thanksgiving!
