Advent Daily Devotional: December 31
The story of Jesus missing from the caravan home can seem a little overblown, but it became a teaching moment for His parents and for us to see what the true work of the Father was and remains.

Jesus formative years were a learning experience for everyone.

Advent Daily Devotional: December 22
Christmas comes at the end of the calendar year, but the Christmas story is just the start of all that God seeks to accomplish in and through those He came to save.
