🎄 12 Days of CHRISTMAS DEVOTIONAL: Wonder, Grace & Intentional Faith Rediscover the true meaning of Christmas and step into a purposeful New Year with this unique 12-day devotional journey. This special guide takes you from Christmas Day (December 25) through Epiphany (January 5). It's a journey into the sacred season when the Church celebrates the mystery of God made flesh dwelling among us. Bridge your heart toward the "Better" series and prepare for the GracePointe Church's 2026 watchword: Intentional —a call to live purposefully for Christ in every season. The Unique Journey: Films as Windows to Grace This devotional uses twelve beloved Christmas films as windows into eternal truth. From Charlie Brown's search for meaning to George Bailey's transformed perspective, these stories echo the Gospel in surprising ways. The journey is structured around John Wesley’s three categories of grace: Part One: Prevenient Grace (God Comes to Us) Films include: A Charlie Brown Christmas (Day 1) and Frosty the Snowman (Day 2). - Part Two: Justifying Grace (We Receive and Belong) Films include: Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer (Day 5) and Elf (Day 6). - Part Three: Sanctifying Grace (We Are Transformed for Mission) Films include: A Christmas Carol (Day 7) , It's a Wonderful Life (Day 8) , and National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation (Day 12). How to Use This Devotional Designed for quiet reflection or family sharing, each day includes: Scripture - Reflection connecting the film to the Gospel - Action steps to move truth from head to heart to hands - Prayer as a launching point for conversation with God Even if you haven't seen every film, each devotion stands alone with Scripture, reflection, action, and prayer. Step into 2026 with intentional faith , ready to live "Better" because Christ has made all things new. You are seen. You are loved. You belong here.
