Voices of Advent DVD: The Bible's Insights for a Season of Hope

by Matthew L. Skinner

Overview

Experience Advent with the Scriptures that inspire Christmas. In four engaging video sessions, the DVD features Matthew Skinner teaching Voices of Advent. It is designed to be used with the book and Leader Guide. All sessions are closed captioned. In Voices of Advent, Matthew L. Skinner leads readers through biblical texts and explores how they shape our lives and Christmas celebrations. We listen as Jesus promises to return to us in the future, to John the Baptist as he prepares the way for the Messiah, to the faithful people and poets who anticipate the magnificence of Jesus’s birth, and to the angels and visionaries who praise God when Christmas dawns. Listen carefully to the Bible’s various perspectives that shape our preparations for Christmas; you’ll hear hope in all of them. Voices of Advent helps readers experience Advent not only as the start of the Christian Church Year, but also as the powerful overture that sets the tone for the incredible story of Jesus.
