The theme for these advent devotions is: Following Jesus Changes Everything.

Come back to this page on November 22 to read an introduction to the theme.  The first Advent devotion will be posted on November 30 and daily meditations will continue through Christmas Day.  Each day's devotion will be on a biblical text.  Come back to this page on November 22 to read the introduction to the theme.  Keep reading your Bible daily, when possible, with a willingness to be changed to live more like Jesus in today's world.

    ​Hullo, I’m Jackie Smallbones, a retired professor and ordained minister of Word and Sacrament.  I believe reading the Bible, often and consistently, is not an optional extra for followers of Jesus.  Hence these Advent meditations are prayerful reflection on various Bible passages.  I invite you to reflect on Scripture and be changed.
