4 Reasons to Sign Up
- You long for Christmas to be more meaningful this year – more than just the parties and food and gifts – and don’t want to get lost in the busyness and pressures of the season.
- You want to share the Christ of Christmas with friends and family. This study seems like the perfect opportunity to open the door to conversations with others about Jesus!
- You need encouragement. Christmas this year is a season of sadness, lost hope, and disappointment, and you’re looking for community and a place to express your feelings and find prayer partners.

About the Because of Bethlehem Study
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 every bit as important as the coming itself. The manger is the message. In this four-session video Bible study, Max Lucado will help YOU explore how the One who made everything chose to make himself nothing for us. He experienced hunger and thirst. He went through the stages of human development. He was taught to walk, stand, and wash his face. He was completely and genuinely human. Because of Bethlehem, we no longer have marks on our record . . . just grace. We have the promise that God is always near us, always for us, always within us—and that we have a friend and Savior in heaven. Long after the guests have left, the carolers have gone home, and the lights have come down, these promises endure.
The Because of Bethlehem Study includes video discussion questions, Bible exploration, and personal study and reflection materials for the Advent season.
This study is just four weeks long and the videos with Max will be available week-by-week for FREE on Study Gateway
Week One (December 3 - 9): God Has a Face
Week Two (December 10 - 16): Worship Works Wonders
Week Three (December 17 - 23): God Guides the Wise
Week Four (December 24-30): Every Heart a Manger
