STUDIES
All-Church Advent Bible Study Voices of Advent; The Bible’s Insights for a Season of Hope by Matthew Skinner
leads us through biblical texts and explores how they shape our lives and Christmas celebrations. Jesus
promises to return, John the Baptist prepares the way for the Messiah, faithful people and poets speak of
magnificence, and angels praise God when Christmas dawns. These set the powerful overture that sets the
tone for the incredible story of Jesus.
