Advent Journey
Trusting the Nativity Story
“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” — Hebrews 11:1
This Advent, we return to the Nativity, not as distant observers, but as participants in a story that still carries us today.
Mary holds hope that God’s promise will be fulfilled through her. Joseph rests in the quiet peace that God is with him when life turns upside down. Elizabeth’s heart leaps with joy at God’s nearness. Travelers to Bethlehem discover love drawing near in the most unexpected place. Shepherds hear good news that heals weary hearts and brings hope to the world.
The Nativity invites the same trust in us: to see in Christ’s birth the hope, peace, joy, love, and healing that meet us where we are.
Through this exclusive series of devotionals by Canadian guest authors, we explore how God’s Word brings these gifts to life.
