Morning Devotional Carols, 1-24 December 2024

Would you appreciate a plan for joy and biblical perspective during the holiday season? For some, it’s a sad time of the year, a remembrance of loss. For others this can be the least spiritual season of the year. Yet when we keep our focus on Christ—"the reason for the season"—this can be a deeply meaningful time.

Connecting with Christ through Carols offers a daily devotional for each day of Advent—1-24 December. Accordingly, we’ve invited 24 brothers and sisters around the world to share about their favorite carols.

Advent calendars have become more and more popular lately. Normally each day we open one of the doors or windows and take out a chocolate. But this month, you can click each day and receive a Christmas carol!

Each video is up to 15 minutes in length, including the carol, biblical meaning, and prayer.

Please enjoy this special Advent gift—and share it with your friends.

Happy Christmas!

Douglas & Vicki
