“But the angel said to them, “Don’t be afraid! I am here with good news for you, which will bring great joy to all the people. This very day in David’s town your Savior was born — Christ the Lord!” — Luke 2:10-11

Over 2,000 years ago, when a baby was born in a manger, did it change anything for those who first witnessed it? The shepherds returned to their everyday lives, but with a renewed hope—knowing that no matter what life brought their way, they could face it because God had revealed Himself through Christ. “The shepherds returned, glorifying, and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, just as it was told to them.”

Today, our circumstances may feel challenging and uncertain, but this Advent, we invite you on a journey of waiting and discovery—waiting for His presence to transform every part of our lives and being reminded of the hope that gives us strength, the peace that surpasses understanding, the joy of His presence, and His sacrificial love.

Through our exclusive series of videos and devotionals by Canadian guest authors, we explore how God’s Word brings these gifts to life.
