Special: Advent Devotionals

Post author By Todd Uebele
Post date December 1, 2024

Welcome to the Coffee With Jesus Advent Series!

Week 1: Hope

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.” – Romans 15:13

We can all find hope in family…and yet family comes in many forms.

In this Advent special, our host talks about family, about hope and about decorating for Christmas.

Our host will go all out with the decorating at my house. Clark Griswald? He’s an amateur. While some may think that misses the point and the spirit of Christmas. There is a reason why our host enjoys Christmas to its fullest each year. One year, he almost didn’t survive Christmas.

Podcast host: Todd Uebele

Week 2: Joy

Every year the debate rages: When should we start putting up our Christmas tree? Our Christmas decorations?

Our host used to firmly be the in not-before-thanksgiving camp. He was a staunch supporter of waiting until December. But that changed one year.

What caused the change of heart? What caused our host to decide it was ok to start putting up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving?

Listen to this episode and find the JOY we all have in Christmas, and let’s all do our part to spread that joy to others.

Podcast Host: Todd Uebele

Week 3: Peace

During the hustle and bustle of the season, it can be easy to lose our sense of peace. Add in major life transitions on top of that and it can be REALLY easy to lose our sense of peace.

In this special Advent devotional, host Sara van Driel shares how she manages to find that peace, even in the midst of a major life transition.

Join us as she shares the range of emotions she is going through this holiday season, and how she is able to find peace through it all.

Our prayer for you is that you too will find peace this holiday season.

Podcast Host: Sara van Driel

Week 4: Love

How did a star, a word, and a 10-year-old girl prompt a profound plea for love?

In this episode, our host discusses what it means to lead in love. We cannot lead in love if we are not grounded in love. She provides Bible passages about being grounded in love and what that love looks like. She provides practical ways to apply those passages to our life based on her recent experience managing the frustration and anger associated with moving to a new place.

Listen to this episode and learn how Sara started pondering the meaning of leading in love and how a star, a word, and a 10-year-old girl inspired our host to share her heart with us with a profound plea for love.

Is World War 3 about to start? Is Nuclear War imminent? Is this the end times?

Israel has officially and formally declared war for the first time in 50 years. What does this mean? What do we do when it seems like the world is on fire?

God hears our cry and rescues us. Whether it’s from physical enemies or the feelings of anxiety and being overwhelmed by the state of the world, God hears our cry and rescues us.
