THE PROMISED ONE: A 4-WEEK ADVENT DEVOTIONAL

Over the 4 weeks of Advent, this devotional guide will explore what Scripture tells us about the Promised One. The daily reflections delve into key passages that help us understand more about who Jesus is. And each weekly theme centers around a core aspect of Jesus’ identity drawn from Isaiah’s prophecies. Each daily reading concludes with Scripture passages for reflection and discussion questions to aid individual or group study. The guide at the back of the devotional offers additional ideas and activities for families and groups throughout advent. This resource is published by Christianity Today and is available at the Next Steps desk.
