Advent Conspiracy Group Bible Study with Chris Seay, Rick McKinley, and Greg Holder.

Are you fed up with how consumerism has stolen the soul of Christmas? Take a stand! Join the growing groundswell of Christ-followers who are choosing to making Christmas what it should be—a joyous celebration of Jesus' birth, not a retail circus.

In four compelling sessions, Advent Conspiracy invites individuals, families, groups, and entire churches to substitute compassion for consumerism by practicing four simple but powerful, countercultural concepts:

Worship Fully—because Christmas begins and ends with Jesus!

Spend Less—and free your resources for things that truly matter.

Give More—of your presence: your hands, your words, your time, your heart.

Love All—the poor, the forgotten, the marginalized, the sick, in ways that make a difference.

Advent Conspiracy DVD session titles:

Session 1: Worship Fully

Session 2: Spend Less

Session 3: Give More

Session 4: Love All

Designed for use with Advent Conspiracy book.
