Advent Study

The Place to Be:

Finding Belonging at Christmas

Join us for a four-week spiritual journey through Rome, Jerusalem, Nazareth, and Bethlehem. This study connects to our weekly sermons and invites you to discover where you truly belong at Christmas.

This study plans a four-stop spiritual journey to enrich our observation and celebration of the Advent season. The journey toward Christmas on which begins in Rome, the seat of supreme political power in the first century; continues to Jerusalem, Israel’s holiest city; goes through Nazareth, a village so seemingly inconsequential it is unknown in first-century literature outside of the New Testament; and ends in Bethlehem, where Christians believe the Sovereign God became flesh as a baby cradled in a manger.

Rooted in Scripture

This study draws from Rev. Rob Fuquay’s spiritual insight.

Journey together

Life groups across our church are walking this path side by side.

Four sacred stops

Each destination opens new understanding of belonging.

Advent preparation

Four weeks to deepen your faith before Christmas arrives.

Four Stops toward Bethlehem

Follow the path that leads to Christ. Each destination teaches us something about faith, longing, humility, and hope.

Rome

A Place of Longing

We begin where early authority reigns. Rome reminds us that kingdoms rise and fall, but God’s kingdom endures forever.

A Place of Waiting

Here the faithful waited and prayed. Jerusalem teaches us about spiritual hunger and the ache of anticipation that only God can fill.

In this overlooked place, Jesus grew in wisdom and grace. Nazareth shows us that God often works in the small, the quiet, the hidden.
