Holy Pauses at Second-Ponce

It is in the spirit of gratitude and humility that we offer the 2024 Advent devotional as an opportunity to stop and consider the Savior, His character and the gift of salvation. To take holy pauses. To bow our knees in reverence and confess Jesus is Lord. We hope that you are blessed by each reading and are challenged to take holy pauses by these words of faith.

2024 Advent Devotional

Advent is a time of waiting for the Messiah. A time to commit yourself to looking for the hope, peace, joy and love that we find in the babe Jesus who became our Messiah, Savior and Lord.

This year, the Discipleship Council encourages you to pause (wait) during Advent—to rest, listen, ponder and rejoice. Each week begins on Sunday with a discussion of the weekly theme and suggested actions to live out the devotional material. Six days of devotions are provided each week (instead of the usual seven). We encourage you to be intentional and deliberate in your consideration of the scriptural ideas, taking time to listen to God. Each devotion, written by a Second-Ponce member, will encourage you to pause through the Scripture, short devotional thoughts, questions to ponder and prayers to God.

Did you know that you can receive our Advent devotions as daily emails? Let us know if you want to be added to the list!
