Hi, friends! I cannot believe it’s Week 5 of Pointing to the Promise! I pray you have found the peace of God throughout these past few weeks of Advent. This week we will be studying how joy is found only in Jesus.

What To Do This Week:

Complete Week 5, Days 21-25, in Pointing to the Promise.
Watch the Monday video with Kayla and Wendy to see how true joy stands out the most when life is hard; then join us in a Moment of Reflection (see below).
Read the wrap-up message on Friday, where I share how I found joy amid a challenging time in my life while dealing with my father’s estate. 

Moment of Reflection:

In this week’s video, Kayla encourages us to light a candle as a joyful reminder that Jesus is the light of the world. Reflecting on this past year, what is a time when you found joy in the midst of darkness? 

Freebie of the Week:

This week’s freebie is the “Names for the Messiah” resource for you to download. Isaiah 9:6 reminds us that Jesus is our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father and  Prince of Peace.

Prayer To Get You Through This Week:

Heavenly Father, we sing, "Joy to the world—the Lord has come!" Joy came into the world, and darkness is no more. Our joy comes from Jesus. No matter what we face today, we know You are with us. Thank You, Jesus, for being the Light in our lives! In Jesus’ name, amen.

Blessings and joy,

Missy
