Don't get lost in the busyness of the season... enjoy these free Advent resources from Lee Strobel to help you keep CHRIST in Christmas. | | | Free Advent Toolkit and The Case for Christmas Online Bible Study by Lee Strobel | | We long for Christmas to be more meaningful this year – more than just the parties, food, and gifts – and don’t want to get lost in the busyness and pressures of the season. But how should we prepare for Christmas and keep Christ as our focus? For centuries, Christians throughout the world have used the season of Advent to ready themselves spiritually for Christmas. The word advent comes from the Latin word adventus and simply means “coming” or “arrival”. Although we tend to think of Advent as a season of celebration, it was originally conceived primarily as a season of preparation — a time for prayer and self-reflection. That's why Lee Strobel has partnered with Study Gateway this year to offer FREE access to his four-session video Online Bible Study: The Case for Christmas! Lee's life’s work has been to share the evidence that supports the truth and claims of Christianity and to equip believers to share their faith with the people they know and love. There's no better time to learn to defend your beliefs and share your faith than at Christmas — and Lee is giving you the tools and resources to do that! Get these 5 great freebies in the Advent Toolkit: 1) FREE access to the brand-new The Case for Christmas Bible Study Videos.

You’ll learn to separate the holiday from the holy day, the facts from the fantasy, and the truth from the tradition. In each session you will explore: • What the Bible actually says about Jesus’ birth and how you can know it is accurate • Whether the Christmas story actually happened or developed from the myths of the day • The Bible’s claim that Jesus was born of a virgin and why it is important to your faith • How Jesus–and only Jesus–fulfilled hundreds of biblical prophecies about the Messiah The Case for Christmas will invite you to look beyond the familiar traditions of the season, challenge you to examine the evidence for yourself, and consider why Christmas really matters.
