More Advent Devotions for Teens
6. Peace in the Chaos
Scripture: Isaiah 26:3; John 14:27
Discussion Starter: In what ways does December feel chaotic? How can Jesus bring peace in the middle of busyness?
Creative idea: Set up some quiet corners with Bibles, candles, and journals. Let students spend 10 minutes in silence, writing or drawing about peace.
7. Love That Goes First
Scripture: John 3:16; 1 John 4:9-11
Discussion Starter: God’s love took the initiative. He came to us first. In what situation might you need to go first in showing love or forgiveness?
Creative idea: Make “acts of love” ornaments. Each teen writes a way to serve or bless someone this week.
8. The Humble King
Scripture: Philippians 2:5-11
Discussion Starter: Why do you think Jesus arrived as a baby in a manger instead of a mighty ruler? What does that reveal about his character?
Creative idea: Build a simple nativity scene out of recycled materials to represent humility and creativity.
9. Light Shines in the Darkness
Scripture: John 1:1-9
Discussion Starter: How can we be light in our schools, teams, and homes this Christmas season?
Creative idea: Give each teen a small candle or glow stick to take home as a reminder to reflect Jesus’ light.
10. Advent Worship
Scripture: Psalm 96:1-3
Discussion Starter: What songs help you feel closer to God during Advent or Christmas?
Creative idea: Have students choose modern or traditional songs that express hope, peace, or joy. Discuss what the lyrics mean to them.
