Thanksgiving (in the USA) is almost upon us, and Advent is just around the corner. That means it’s time for our free Advent and Christmas devotions. This year, we’re bringing back several favorite classic devotionals, and introducing a new one that we think will help you to renew your focus on God’s Word this holiday season.

You can sign up for them on our newsletter page, which is always a good place to find out what’s new and discover old gems you may not have known about. Each of these free Christmas-related devotionals begins on or shortly after Advent, which is December 2nd this year. Sign up today so you won’t miss them. Here’s what we have to offer this year:

• Bible Gateway Advent Devotions: Our classic Christmas devotional, bringing you Scripture readings and Christmas inspiration from Christian thinkers ancient and modern. (Runs throughout Advent.)
• Classic Christmas Hymns: This Christmas season, find new appreciation for these classic hymns about Jesus’ birth by learning about their history, and by thinking about their lyrics in greater depth. (Runs for 9 days.)
• How to Live the Bible with Mel Lawrenz: Christmas Joy: Have you ever wondered where all the Christmas joy went? How did things get so complicated? So squeezed and cluttered? A nonstop buzz of Christmas lights and weary shoppers, boisterous television specials and pleading children. It doesn’t have to be this way. We can choose to step aside, step into a quieter moment. This is a great place to start if you want to discover the true joy of Christmas. (Starts December 1st and ends on Christmas Day.)

Taken together, these three free Christmas devotionals approach the holiday season differently—and all of them will help you to focus on the person of Jesus Christ as Christmas grows nearer.
