Simply Christmas

This Christmas, God in Our City Radio invites you to slow down and rediscover the miracle of Christ’s birth through fresh eyes. Each Simply Christmas study guide takes you into a different scene of the Christmas story—through the priest in the temple, the young girl in Galilee, the prophetic voice in the wilderness, the shepherds in the fields, and more.


Walk through Scripture, reflect on God’s promises, and uncover simple gifts of faith, hope, peace, and joy that still speak to our lives today.

The Surprises of Christmas

Christmas is a story filled with holy interruptions, unexpected promises, and divine surprises. Through ancient prophecies, humble people, and miraculous moments, God unfolded His plan to send Jesus—our Savior, Immanuel.

This Advent devotional traces that story of wonder from Genesis to Bethlehem, reminding us that God still works in the unexpected.
