Advent 2019
Real Help for a Busy Season
The weeks leading up to Christmas and New Year seem to be some of the most hectic of the year. But you don’t want to miss the peace and joy you know Jesus wants to give you in this season. With most small groups meeting only socially, now is a perfect time to embark on a solo adventure in God’s Word.
As you might expect, these pages contain daily Scripture verses and devotions that help you see God at work in your everyday life. But this Discipleship Travel Log also invites you to:
Try Something New
You will be equipped and encouraged to run discipleship experiments and find something to take with you on your journey of faith, into 2020 and beyond.
Find a Next Step
As you explore tools for meditation or methods for prayer, look for the response Jesus is shaping in you.
Get in a Groove
Over the course of these 40 days, you will begin to feel the rhythm of innovation and experimentation for the sake of the Gospel.
Some days will be busier than others; and if you miss a day or two, don’t feel guilty.
Just get back to it. Even the challenging stuff is actually fun.
Jesus again extends his gracious invitation: “You, follow me!”
Today is a good day to take a small next step.
