New Advent devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries (LHM) are:
- Home for the Holidays, which highlights how God is with us in His Word, baptism and sacraments throughout our lives and points to the future home that awaits believers. It will be available in audio format beginning Nov. 26.
- Over the Static, which tells the story of an unchurched man who uses his video blog and what he learns from his family, friends and coworkers duri
ng the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas to wrestle through the issues Christ’s birth raises for his life. In an effort to reach a younger, unchurched audience, LHM is making the video blogs available at www.overthestatic.com and on YouTube. - Un Adviento Radical (Radical Advent) is a Spanish devotion designed to illuminate the timeless story of “God’s radical gift to the world” — the birth of His son.
LHM’s devotions also are available in PDF format so that congregations may download, print and customize them with contact information and service schedules.
