Christmas time is near. For Christians, we are in the season of preparation which is called Advent. First Baptist Church of Athens offers devotions prepared by our members, to compliment your spiritual preparation for Christmas. Their personal stories give witness to the light of Christ which brings hope, peace, joy, and love into our lives.  Today’s personal devotion is given by Mark Lancaster. Listen as our youth and college students welcome you into God’s presence singing O, Come, O Come, Emmanuel, accompanied by Yehyun Hong on cello.
