DAY 8 — The Day of Atonement

Once a year, Israel watched as two goats carried away their sin—one sacrificed, one sent into the wilderness. Today we explore how this ritual pointed to Jesus, our final and perfect substitute. Why can our sins really be forgiven and forgotten? Advent reminds us that Christ came to make us “at-one” with God forever.

DAY 7 — Moses & the God Who Rescues

God saw His people suffering in Egypt and sent Moses to bring them out. Today we look at how Moses’ rescue mission points to a greater Deliverer still to come. What does it mean that God hears, remembers, and acts? Advent reminds us that Jesus came to lead us out of a far deeper slavery.

DAY 6 — Joseph: From Pit to Palace (Sarah)

Betrayed by his brothers and forgotten in prison, Joseph saw God turn pain into purpose. Today we explore how Joseph’s rise to power foreshadows Jesus—the Beloved Son who suffers to save. What others meant for evil, God meant for good. This story invites us to trust God in seasons that feel like “the pit.”

DAY 5 — Jacob the Trickster & God’s Grace

Jacob’s life was messy, complicated, and full of failure—yet God’s promise continued through him. Today we look at how grace, not goodness, keeps God’s story moving. Can God really use people who get it wrong again and again? Jacob shows us just how powerful God’s mercy truly is.

DAY 4 — The Promised Son & the Substitute

Isaac’s miraculous birth showed God keeps His promises, and the ram on the mountain showed God provides a substitute. Today we explore how this father-and-son moment points forward to Christ. Why would God ask Abraham to give up his beloved son—and what does it reveal about the Son God would one day give for us? This story prepares our hearts for the manger.

DAY 3 — The Promise to Abraham

God chose an unlikely man and made a promise big enough to bless the whole world. Today we trace that promise—from Abraham’s barren household to the birth of Jesus Himself. What kind of God gives everything to someone who deserves nothing? Discover how Advent is rooted in God’s unstoppable faithfulness.

DAY 2 — The Ark and the Rainbow 

Noah’s story is more than judgment—it’s a picture of God’s saving grace. Today we explore how the ark points to a better rescue and a better Savior. What does a flood, a boat, and a rainbow have to do with Advent? Come see how this ancient story stirs our hope for Christ.

What if the peace God offers is far stronger, deeper, and more whole than anything you’ve ever imagined? What if biblical peace isn’t the absence of conflict, but the presence of Someone? In this message, Pastor Tonderai Bassoppo-Moyo explores the difference between the world’s fragile peace and the unshakeable peace God gives—peace that brings wholeness, mends what’s broken, steadies us in trouble, and reconciles us to God, to ourselves, and to others. If true peace feels distant, fragile, or inconsistent in your life, what would it look like to discover the kind of peace Jesus promised? Listen in as we explore the peace announced at His birth and offered to us today.

Every December, we look forward to unwrapping gifts—but the greatest gift of all is the one given in Bethlehem. This Advent podcast invites you to journey day by day through the Bible’s story, from Eden to the manger to the promise of Christ’s return. Along the way, you’ll hear how every page of Scripture points us to Jesus—the Snake Crusher, the true Ark, the better Moses, the Good Shepherd, and the coming King. 

We’ll see that the Bible is "as the swaddling bands of the infant Saviour; for if we unroll the Scripture, we come upon Jesus Christ himself.” (Spurgeon) 

In 24 short daily episodes, we’ll walk through God’s promises, humanity’s longing, and the hope fulfilled in Christ. Each day includes storytelling, reflection, and prayer to help prepare your heart for Christmas. 

Unwrap the story. Discover the Savior. Rejoice in the best news of all: God with us.

Advent, meaning “arrival,” signifies the start of something profound. In the Christian tradition, it is a four-week season dedicated to reflecting on and celebrating Jesus’ arrival on Earth! It’s a season to remember the unexpected humility of His birth and anticipate His future return when He will reunite Heaven and Earth. Join us as we explore themes of hope, peace, joy, and love this Christmas season at New Song Church.
