How About An Advent Bible Study???
By Cindy Rushton
Every year we spend our Advent season studying about Jesus Christ. We cuddle up around the Advent Wreath and light the candles for that particular week and read from Scripture. One year we used Wanda Sanseri’s book Advent Foretold as our study guide. Other years, we used different devotions like Let’s Make a Jesse Tree. Either of these can be bought or ordered at your local Christian Bookstore.
We are planning to study the names of Jesus this year during Advent. If we are to praise Jesus, we must KNOW Jesus. The following are a few of the names of Jesus and where they can be found in Scripture. You may look up the verses and read them aloud. Then, look up the meaning of the name and spend time in prayer with your family just praising Jesus! Keep your eyes posted for our little devotional (to come soon) with all of this in an order for the season of Advent–obviously another year (wink). Until then, here are some different names of Jesus for you to choose from for your evening devotions…
