New Advent Devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries

ONLINE – Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) and its Canadian partner Lutheran Laymen’s League of Canada have released their annual Advent Devotional. Entitled Fear Not, the series runs from November 29 (the first Sunday in Advent) through January 6, 2016 (Epiphany).

“How often do you face your day with a sense of fear and dread?,” the introduction to the devotional begins. “Holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas can easily lose their joy and delight when little things relentlessly nag at us, annoying and distracting us from the deeper meaning of these celebrations. Maybe the busy preparations of the season have you down or, perhaps, you are reeling from a major life crisis or catastrophe.”

“This Advent and Christmas season we will study the events of our Saviour’s birth as recorded in the first two chapters of the Gospel of Luke,” the introduction continues. “There we will hear God’s answers to the fears that threaten to engulf and overwhelm us.”

In addition to using print-copies of the devotions, you can also access them online in three ways: as a download at LHM’s website, via email, and as an audio podcast. Access these online options at www.lhm.org/advent/.

Lutheran Hour Ministries and Lutheran Laymen’s League of Canada are auxiliaries of Lutheran Church–Canada.
