1/29/2022 Devotional

1 Corinthians 15:55-57 BSB Where, O Death, is your victory? Where, O Death, is your sting?”  The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ!   God sent Jesus to die for us; we have victory in Him. We have salvation and eternal life. What have we to fear? Think of all the things Paul went through to be an…

It applies not just to Mary, or Joseph or the shepherds but to everyone in the world forever. The hope has come, the savior of mankind has…

What do the candles in our Advent wreath mean?

This content was produced by Ask The UMC, a ministry of United Methodist Communications, and originally posted on UMC.org The Advent wreath was originally a German and Scandinavian home devotional practice used to mark the four weeks of Advent.

Families would light a candle for each past week and the current week…
