Advent through Epiphany is the season for Christians to remember and rehearse "the coming of the Lord." In this guide, we provide daily scripture, prayer, and reflection to prepare for the birth of Jesus as God's embodiment, or incarnation, among us. Our Advent triptych is built upon three ideas in the Christmas story: Preparation, Celebration, and Migration. We'll explore these through Matthew's gospel through dreams and Christ's genealogy. In addition, we'll look at some of Luke's gospel for good measure. Together we will explore each of these and how they impact Advent in different yet interlocking ways. Together, we are called to deepen our discipleship, profoundly involving God in our inner and outer lives, what John Wesley called "piety" and "mercy."We invite you to connect with our core ministry, FastPrayGive.org, where you may become part of a year-round weekly discipline and join a growing movement to end hunger by grace.
