As the world pauses to celebrate Christmas, we find ourselves enveloped in a sense of wonder and awe. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day mark the culmination of a season filled with anticipation, joy, and reflection. It's a time to gather with loved ones, celebrate the birth of Jesus, and embrace the true spirit of the season.

As the festive season approaches, the air fills with excitement and anticipation. Christmas is a time of joy, family gatherings, and the exchange of gifts. But beyond the twinkling lights and festive decorations, lies the profound significance of this season—the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

Advent is a time of anticipation and reflection as we prepare our hearts for the celebration of Christ's birth.

We've crafted an Advent study plan to guide you through this season.

Each week, we will focus on a theme and scripture that brings the story of Christmas to life. Join us on this journey of expectation and hope.

As the world around us enters a season of thanksgiving, it’s a perfect opportunity for us, even in Australia where Thanksgiving isn’t traditionally celebrated, to pause and reflect on the importance of gratitude. The Bible is rich with teachings on thankfulness, and these lessons are timeless, offering us guidance on living a life of gratitude.

To get to know someone, one of the foundational questions you ask is, 'Where did you grow up?' This is going to give you a good understanding of that person’s likes, dislikes and possibly their worldview. Understanding the historical context of the Bible gives us a window into what the different books are about and takes us to a deeper level in journeying through the Bible.

Here we are at that time of year when we start to pull out our advent calendars and countdown to Christmas day. I love my advent calendar but is there more to this than opening a window each day and getting a small gift.
