The Christmas We Didn't Expect

The Christmas We Didn't Expect: Daily Devotions for Advent

Life is full of unexpected twists and turns and this has been particularly so in 2020.

But the most unexpected and significant event in the history of the world actually happened over 2000 years ago when God himself became one of us in the person of Jesus Christ.

These Advent reflections help us to lift our eyes to wonder of the incarnation and worship the one who came to save us and make our futures certain. Be amazed once more by the unexpected details of Jesus' unique birth and saving work with these short daily devotions and prayers, and renew your worship of our humble, generous, and loving Savior.
