God Is With Us, originally published in 2016, invites you to explore your longing for God's presence through a study of the lectionary Bible readings for Advent and Christmas. The hope of Advent is the fulfillment of that longing; we await the coming of Jesus as Immanuel, God With Us. Each week's Scriptures call us to praise God as we actively await the coming of Christ and prepare our hearts and lives for his arrival. Through the readings, we hear the invitation to claim and celebrate the new hope we have in Jesus Christ. The season of Advent offers opportunities to prepare for God’s coming in human form in the infant Jesus and for the fulfillment of God’s kingdom with the second coming of Christ. Hope is the focus of Advent worship, study, and prayer. We will discover the light that began in the manger, which continues as we look forward with hope to Christ's return. God Is With Us is based on the Revised Common Lectionary Scriptures for church year A, the first of a three-year cycle of Bible readings. The study includes commentary and reflection on readings from the Old Testament, the Gospels, and the Epistles. It offers the opportunity to explore these Bible readings in a five-session study. It will help participants understand, appreciate, and engage in meaningful and joyous celebrations of Advent and Christmas and to live each day in God's hope through Jesus Christ.

The beauty of Christmas is more than tinsel and cookies and trimming the tree. The beauty of Christmas is exploring the story of Christmas in Luke 1 and 2. Advent. A time of remembrance and of expectation. A season to recall Jesus's birth over two thousand years ago. And a season of anticipation at His future return as King. Jesus's birth restored hope in people who hadn't heard from God in over four hundred years. His people needed to know He was still with them even when life looked grim. The same is true for us. When we look back at the tumult and triumphs we may have endured this year, it is powerful to remind ourselves that because of Jesus-as Isaiah prophesied, our "Immanuel"-our God is with us. This means that - in the day-to-day, God is with us; - in the changing seasons, God is with us; - in sadness and in celebrations, God is with us; - in breakups and in restorations, God is with us. It is necessary that we remind our children, our friends, and our nation that because of Jesus Christ, no matter the dark past or the present experiences, our futures can be bright! Hope Has Come: An Advent Devotional is a family-style devotional to be read each day in December leading up to Christmas. Experience and explore the most incredible story ever told. The advent story. Jesus came, and He is coming again. This is our living hope, and His name is Jesus.

Discover God's good news of great joy for all people--including you! Originally written for Church of the City New York's 2018 advent season, this book is an invitation to encounter the hope, peace, joy, and love of Jesus and to discover why Christmas is good news for 21st-century people in a hurting world. The Christmas season can be full of joy, but it can also be hectic and hard on those who are hurting. We can drown those feelings in eggnog, leaving these tensions unexamined, or we can step into the light of the Advent candles to see, maybe for the first time, that a loving God with good plans for our future has stepped into our broken world to set things right. An energizing read whether you're full of faith or questions, find a quiet place to unwrap the gifts of Advent and see why the baby in the manger is good news for people like us. This book was written for my community at Church of the City New York (visit church.nyc) and is the outpouring of my writing about Advent, which you can find at www.theadvent.co. It was inspired by a desire not to go through the motions at Christmas but to deeply and personally connect with the hope, peace, joy and love that Christmas dares to offer us. This book contains four weekly reflections to guide you through the season of Advent, following the rhythm of the candles, which symbolize the Hope of the patriarchs who expected Christ, the Peace the Messiah will bring, our Joy when we receive Jesus, and God's powerful Love for us.
