Advent 1

Many teenagers find it difficult to prepare with their busy schedule of activities. I’m hoping this devotional series will help build a worshipful spirit as we approach this season.

The Lord knows the end from the beginning. He knew that Adam and Eve would sin and that humanity’s end would be physical and spiritual death.

God predestined the Messiah’s suffering.” - Jason Sobel, Mysteries of the Messiah: Unveiling Divine Connections from Genesis to Today
