Because Of Bethlehem Bible Study Guide With Streaming Video (Updated Edition)

Wherever this season finds you—even amidst loneliness or heartache—the Because of Bethlehem Bible Study from Max Lucado will remind you that God is near, he understands your struggles, and his grace has rewritten your story.

In Because of Bethlehem, bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado points out that a remarkable gift can arrive in an unremarkable package. One did in Bethlehem more than 2,000 years ago. No one expected God to come the way he did, yet the way he came was as important as the coming itself. The manger is the message. 

Because of Bethlehem, God knows what it’s like to be human. Because of Bethlehem, when we talk to him about tough times, he understands. Because of Bethlehem, we know he doesn’t say, “Clean up before you come in.” He offers, “Come in and I’ll clean you up.” Because of Bethlehem, we no longer have marks on our record . . . just grace.  

Through four insightful sessions, this study will:

• Revive your wonder that the One who made everything chose to make himself nothing for us.
• Rekindle your connection to the Christ of Christmas who offers lasting hope.
• Help you lay down your endless Christmas to-do list and receive what Jesus has already done.
• Heal your heartache by embracing the God who is always near you, always for you, and always in you.

This revised and updated edition includes video notes, discussion questions, Bible exploration, and an all-new Advent practice section to complete between meetings.

Sessions include:

1. God Has a Face
2. Worship Works Wonders
