Small Wonder – A Christmas Devotional Journey

Reflect on the wonder of the incarnation this Advent – the infinite life found in the small infant Jesus and how he invites you to do wonderful work with him, right where you are.

There were no fanfares when Jesus was born. In fact, the surroundings were far from royal: he was squeezed into a small home in a small, provincial town called Bethlehem. Yet this birth – the most wonderful news of all time – has infinite implications for each one of us.  

In this 25-day Advent devotional journey, you’ll have opportunities to reflect upon the wonder of the Christmas story and be inspired to join in God’s wonderful work in your everyday life. 

Throughout December, you’ll explore four different themes through Bible reflections:

  • You’ll consider how Jesus’ birth fulfilled the wonderful plan found in the Old Testament promises of a rescue to come
  • How the incarnation is wonderful news amidst the brokenness of this world
  • How you’re invited to join in God’s wonderful work
  • How we are called to bring that spark of small wonder into all of your life, as we are all invited to meet him. 

The devotional journey comes with accompanying Sunday messages and videos and is perfect to do either on your own or with your church family. If you’re a church leader, why not plan to do it as a congregation this year?

The journey and accompanying resources will be free and accessible via this page later in 2025.
