Advent Devotional 2025

A Season of Anticipation

The season of Advent is always a special time of year. With it comes an opportunity for spiritual renewal as we celebrate Jesus’ birth into the world and as we anticipate His eventual return, as He promised. This year’s four themes (hope, peace, joy, and love) unfold over the four weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, giving us a season of reflection and contemplation—as individuals and as families.

Advent comes with a purpose. Each year, we take time to refocus and realign our hearts and minds with the true meaning of the season. It’s easy to become caught up in the commercialization of the holiday season, and there is certainly nothing wrong with celebrating all that the season brings. But in these four weeks, we invite you to intentionally take some time to center your spirit on the promises God gives us through His Son, Jesus. This guide will help you accomplish that. Take time individually and read the truths found in God’s Word contained in the themes of this guide. And take some time as a family, too, to share in the hope and the light that is found only in Jesus.
