Advent means “arrival” and marks the beginning of an event or the coming of a person. In Christian communities, Advent is a four-week season dedicated to remembering and celebrating the arrival of Jesus on Earth. It’s a special time for Christians to prepare their hearts to celebrate the humble birth of God’s Son and to anticipate Christ’s second coming.
To help prepare our hearts for the Christmas season, starting December 1st City Church will spend the next twenty-four days journeying through the Gospel of Luke together. Each day, we’ll read a chapter, reflect on devotional materials written by members of our community, answer questions relevant to life in Beijing, and spend time together in prayer.
We hope this devotional reminds you of the true reason we celebrate Christmas and becomes something you can share with family, friends, or co-workers as you gather to study God’s Word together.
