Because of Bethlehem Bible Study Guide: Love is Born, Hope is Here

In the Because of Bethlehem video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), bestselling author and pastor Max Lucado guides you through the Advent season to its source at an unassuming stable in Bethlehem...

No one expected the Messiah to come the way he did. Yet the way he came was every bit 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. He's been there. He's been here. Because of Bethlehem, we no longer have marks on our record...just grace.  

In the midst of your hectic Christmas season, this 4-session Bible study with Max 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. 

For some, Christmas is a time of excitement, celebration, and family, while for others it is a time of loneliness, grief, and loss. No matter what this season holds for you, the promise of Christmas will bring you a lifetime of hope.

The Because of Bethlehem Study Guide includes video notes and discussion questions, Bible exploration, an individual application activity, and an Advent practice to complete between meetings.

1. God Has a Face  
2. Worship Works Wonders
