Prepare Your Heart (Focus for Weeks 1 & 2)

Advent is a time of preparing our hearts for the coming of Jesus. In the hustle and bustle of Christmas preparations, many people miss the reason for the season: Jesus! Christ comes most often in the unexpected. He comes in the quiet power of a helpless child; in the simple beauty of a young girl saying “yes“ to the mystery of God’s will; in a confused fiance’s willingness to believe and protect a pregnant teenager; in the Baptist’s call to repent and prepare for the Holy Spirit and fire. This season, pause and watch for Jesus to show up in surprising places!

Prepare Your Home (Focus for Weeks 3 & 4)

The liturgical color of Advent is blue. It is the color of hope. In ancient Israel, God's people in captivity and under occupation often felt hopeless and abandoned. The prophets foretold the birth of a coming of the Messiah. Then came Jesus! Mary and Joseph heard the amazing words of hope from an angel. The shepherds heard it, too, from a choir of angels. During this season of hope and expectation, take a little time every night in your home to pause, reflect and prepare for the joy, the peace, and the hope that Jesus will bring.

FAITH5 at the Core

Faith Inkubators Advent 2025 features FAITH5, a simple 5-step faith practice that draws us closer to one another and to God.

FAITH5 is the framework for the weekly Small Group Time at church. We then connect church to home through FAITH5 Home Huddles. Everyone is encouraged to gather at home each night with those they love and do the FAITH5 steps together. Modeling these 5 simple steps at church equips everyone to practice faith “Every Week at Church and Every Night in Every Home”.

Advent 2025 includes:

  • PowerPoint® Presentations: Customize your presentation to fit your church’s needs choosing from several teaching options to help each participant grasp key concepts, no matter what age and stage they are in.

  • Skits: Each theme includes three skit options to present the theme in an engaging way. Use children, parents, youth and adults, or even puppets to present the skits.

  • Bible Verse Songs: An NRSV Scripture passage forms the core of each theme, taught in a verbatim Scripture song. This theme song is provided in a karaoke style video in your PowerPoint Presentation. Sheet music for the theme Scripture song is also included.

  • FAITH5 Take-Home Bookmarks: Weekly FAITH5 bookmarks are provided for you to print and send home for the nightly FAITH5 Home Huddle. The bookmarks provide the daily theme related Bible verse for the READ step of FAITH5.

  • Leader’s Guide: This document is a slide-by-slide guide to each PowerPoint Presentation.

  • FAITH5 Small Group Time Handout: This handout is a simple guide for small group engagement through FAITH5.

  • Small Group Theme Arts & Activities: Small groups interpret the theme through these engaging creative options. Bring Scripture to life through more traditional craft and service projects or step out of the box with great options like clown sketches and interpretive movement.

  • Advent-ure Pageant Script: This script is an outline for an all ages celebration of Jesus’ birth. Use it to plan a Cross+Gen Christmas event or as an alternative to the traditional children’s Christmas program.
