Day 21: Saturday, December 17th, 2022

December 17, 2022 by West Park Baptist Church 1 Comment

Family devotions and personal worship are great spiritual disciplines to embrace in this Advent season and continue year-round.

  1. Gather with those in your home to set apart a daily time together (15 minutes or more is fine… right after a meal
    is ideal).
  2. Have someone read the passage for that day.
  3. Discuss what it means in light of Jesus. What does it say about Him or His coming?
  4. Pray in response to the passage. Thank God for fulfilled prophecies, answered prayers, renewed hopes, etc. Ask the Holy
    Spirit to keep your hearts focused on His Word.
  5. Sing a hymn or carol of the season.

Week 3 – The Christ Child Emmanuel (Love)

John 13:34-35

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Suggested hymns: O Come, O Come Emmanuel; Do You Hear What I Hear

    John 13:35 says the world will know we love Christ-that we’re disciples- by how we love one another (in the body of Christ). Sometimes it’s easier to show compassion/love for those we deem less fortunate outside the church. But what will draw them is for them to see us love well within the church! I’m So thankful for the love I experience in the West Park family not just at Christmas but all year round.
