Four Weeks of Advent Discussion Questions for Families Built on Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love

The post is a family-oriented guide to Advent, the four weeks before Christmas that look ahead to God’s promise of a Savior. It moves through four themes in order (hope, peace, joy, and love) and pairs each with a Bible passage and a set of discussion questions meant to be read prayerfully and talked through together.

The opening sections focus on hope. Drawing on passages about Jesus being born, rising from the dead, and God’s promises, the author asks readers to consider what God showed about His faithfulness by keeping His word. The questions invite families to think about the inheritance believers receive through Jesus, to reflect on times when trust in God’s promises was tested, and to consider how hope can steady a person in an ever-changing world.

The peace section asks what it means for Jesus to be the Prince of Peace, what threatens the calm people feel in their hearts, and how peace with God is connected to faith. It also reflects on the difference between peace of mind and peace of heart, and on how that peace can push back against fear. The questions gently invite anyone who has not yet received Jesus as Savior to think about their own questions.

Each week’s set of questions is designed to lead a family from Scripture into honest conversation, mixing personal memories with reflection on God’s character. The post does not present itself as a complete study; instead, it offers prompts that families can use as they prepare for Christmas together.
