Traditionally, the Advent season is a four-week-long period meant to prepare our hearts for Christmas Day, when we celebrate the birth of Jesus! Advent means “coming.” Similar to those who awaited the arrival of the Messiah over 2,000 years ago, in this Advent season we await the celebration of Jesus’ birth and anticipate His coming again one day.
How to Use the Guide
There are endless ways to use this discipleship guide but the hope is that you would use it to continue to seek true fulfillment in Jesus Christ, starting in your own heart and home this Christmas season. The guide can be used individually or with your family to spark gospel centered family discipleship. Each week provides a focus Bible passage to read, a discussion guide & questions for each domain, a prayer and an activity. Use the calendar to intentionally plan your rhythm. Our hope is that this guide will spark gospel centered conversations and reflections this Christmas season.
About the Four Domains
The four domains of the Christian life are designed to help believers experience true fulfillment in Jesus Christ. We start with the Heart Domain, our personal relationship with Jesus. Next, the Home Domain reflects true fulfillment in Jesus through blessing those in our home and family. Then, if we are experiencing true fulfillment in Jesus in the Gather Domain, we prioritize gathering with a community of believers. Lastly, the Go Beyond Domain expresses true fulfillment in Jesus through sharing his love with others. The focus of this four-week Advent guide is to examine the themes of Advent through these four domains of our lives.
