Advent is a cherished season of reflection and hope for Christians worldwide, marked by the four weeks leading up to Christmas. Rooted in the anticipation of Jesus Christ's arrival, Advent invites believers to meditate on the mystery of God coming in the flesh. While some observe formal traditions, such as special services, many use this time for informal prayer, praise, and reflection. This season also renews our hope for the Second Advent, when Jesus will return victoriously to establish a new heaven and earth, encouraging us to persevere with the same hope-filled anticipation the Israelites had as they awaited the First Advent.
At Crosswalk, we aim to nurture your hope during Advent by offering a guide with weekly Scriptures tied to each candle: hope, peace, joy, and love. Alongside these Scriptures, you’ll find suggested songs to sing or listen to and prayers to close each day.
