In this final Advent reflection, Andrea Brown and I sit down to look at Scripture with fresh eyes. Psalm 72, Isaiah’s prophecy, Micah’s shepherd-King, Luke’s upside-down birth narrative, and the hope of Romans 5 all point us to the same truth: Jesus is the King we’ve always longed for. As we talk, I’m reminded how much we all need real peace and how deeply it matters that we find it in Him.

If you’ve been following the series, thank you. If not, jump in. Watch now and reflect with your family or your small group. Let’s keep pursuing the King who brings justice, peace, and hope.

Advent: The Songs of the First Christmas

Questions for personal reflection:

Which passage from this reflection (Psalm 72, Isaiah, Micah, Luke, or Romans) spoke to you the most, and why?

How does Jesus’ upside-down kingship challenge the way we think about power, peace, or leadership?

Where do you currently feel a longing for justice or peace, and how does Scripture speak into that longing?

What would it look like for your home or group to engage Scripture more intentionally this season?

This week, let’s reflect on what it really means to fear the Lord, not to be scared of God, but to honor Him with a reverent love that shapes how we live. Andrea and I also share how music, repetition, and different Bible translations (like the NET Bible) help us go deeper into God’s forgiveness, His love, and the hope of Advent.

If you’ve ever wondered how fear, love, peace, and joy all work together during Advent, this one’s for you. Watch now and consider where God might be inviting you to slow down and listen.

How does music help you reflect on God’s character or deepen your understanding of Scripture?

Advent invites preparation, so what is God inviting you to prepare or make room for right now?

This week in our Advent series Songs of the First Christmas, my wife and I sat with Mary’s song, and I was reminded how often God works through the overlooked. Mary didn’t fully understand God’s plan, but she still said, “Let it be to me according to your word.”

Her trust challenges me. Am I willing to say the same, even when life feels chaotic? Even when God’s plan doesn’t line up with my expectations?

If you’re walking through uncertainty, or holding tightly to your own plans, this reflection might speak to you. Watch now, share with someone who needs encouragement, and take time to ask: What would it look like to say yes to God today?

Where in your life do you struggle to say, “Not my will, but Yours”?

Why do you think God often chooses the humble and overlooked to carry out His biggest plans?

How does Mary’s response challenge your view of trust and obedience?

What helps you find joy even when life feels chaotic or uncertain?
