Christmas at Stonebriar

The story of Jesus doesn’t start in the manger at Christmas or even in the New Testament. It is in the Old Testament where specific prophecies about the coming Messiah are woven throughout the pages. This December, we’re providing a new resource to help you see how Jesus’ birth was a part of God’s plan from the very beginning.

Grateful for God’s Word is a 25-day devotional connecting Old Testament prophecy to New Testament fulfillment in Jesus Christ, especially at His first advent. This resource will guide you through the Christmas season with Scripture readings, reflection questions, and prayer prompts for each day of December.

This devotional is our gift to you—simply download your copy below, or visit any information desk around our church campus to pick up a printed guide.

While the holidays are often considered a time of joy, they can also be painful, especially for those facing grief, estrangement, illness, or loneliness. At Christmas time and throughout the year, our ministries are here to support and encourage you with the love of Christ.

Here are a few resources that may be of help to you:

• Attend our Grief, Holiness, and the Holidays class on Tuesdays, December 5 & 12
• Share a prayer request on our Online Prayer Wall
• Request a hospital visit for yourself or a loved one
• Join our Parenting Prodigals group (support for those with wayward children or grandchildren) weekly on Tuesdays
• Visit our Care & Support page to find more groups and resources for the hurting

To allow our staff time to rest and celebrate with their families, our church offices will be closed December 22–January 5, excluding Sundays. If you have an urgent need for pastoral care while our offices are closed, such as a death in the family, you may reach the pastor-on-call by dialing 469-252-5200 and following the voicemail prompts.
