Shine Like a Christmas Tree: Living in the Light of Jesus

Description

This Advent devotional includes three parts:

(1) Devotional countdown-to-Christmas cards

These printable cards include three different designs to choose from! Each card has a scripture reading on the front that takes your family through a study of Jesus being the Light of the World and our call to live in His light.

Each card back includes a short devotional reading, question, and prayer. Print the card back file directly onto the backs of the cards or on a separate sheet of paper.

The 24 cards are divided into sections of six cards, each covering a different topic:

1. The promise of the light to come 
2. How Jesus shined his light
3. We have the light of Jesus
4. What we do with the light 

(2) Four lessons that can be used at home or church

These four lessons are scripted, open and go lessons that include a simple object lesson and optional group activity. Use them for your family’s Advent Sundays or with your church group (just be sure to purchase the group use license if printing materials for multiple families). Each lesson corresponds to one section of the countdown cards.

(3) A packet of additional resources – songs, activities, printables, and more!

These additional resources are available as a supplement to your Advent season. Pick and choose what is beneficial for your family!

Included is:

• Eighteen additional activity ideas
• Song list and link to Youtube playlist
• List of references for further study
• Scripture artwork to print and display
• Printable coloring sheets (for various ages)
• Countdown to Christmas tracking sheet

 

When you see the bright Christmas lights shining in this winter darkness, you can remember the greatest light of all, The Light of the World. With this resource, all Advent long you can meditate on this Light and how we reflect that Light to the world.
