Daily Devotion for Advent
As the Christmas season begins, we usually find ourselves more stretched for time than the rest of the year. We get caught up in the frenzy – and forget to focus on what’s truly important.
This devotional will help you clear the clutter so you can make more room for Christ this Christmas.
Devotional created by Susan Narjala.
3 Ways to Access the “Making Space” Devotional:
Access the study on YouVersion (mobile app & website)
The YouVersion study is available through your web browser and through the YouVersion Bible app for mobile devices.
If you create an account on YouVersion, you can access the study on multiple devices, select your preferred Bible translation, track your progress, and join in the study with friends.
If you’re using the YouVersion Bible app, be sure to add Thanksgiving Church as your church and connect with others in the app!
