Advent Resources for Families with Teens and Tweens

Each week in our Bible lesson we reinforce the patterns of a healthy spiritual life—including the daily study of God’s Word. Now, as we’ve reached the end of this volume of the Gospel Project and its daily studies, I have gathered some resources that I hope you find helpful to continue that pattern during this season of Advent.

• Advent Word Study Series from Bible Project and a 28-Day Bible.com Reading plan that incorporates the word study
  A family study with video studies focusing on the words Hope (Yakhal), Peace (Shalom), Love (Agape), Joy (Chara)

• 10 Christmas Story Takeaways Your Students Need to Know from YM360
  Ten takeaways with accompanying scripture from the Gospels that families could use as 10 days of study.

• Jesse Tree Personal Advent Devotions
  Based on the imagery of Isaiah 11, this 29 day devotional for teens and adults starts on November 27th and includes a printable PDF of the study. (There is also a family devotional resource for families with kids who are elementary age and younger.)

• A Review of Advent Devotionals for Families and Teens from Rooted Ministry
  A quick blog post with seven advent study resources that families may find useful. It has a matrix listing the categories of individual devotion, family devotion, age groups (0-5, 6-12, 12-18, 18+) discussion questions, format, start date, and duration to help families find a devotional format that meets their needs. Links to purchase the resources are included.
