ABOUT THE PREACHING & WORSHIP SERIES AUTHOR Rev. Daniel Gard is the former president of Concordia University Chicago. Previously, he served in the military and was the pastor of St. Paul Lutheran Church in Woodland, Indiana.

About the Series

Themes from the sermon series are reinforced by the daily devotions and refashioned for children in the Christmas service and illustrated book. During this Advent season, your entire congregation will be led as the Jesse Tree brings us through God’s promises and salvation plan with symbols of Jesus’ victory from Creation to the Cross.

About the Theme

We belong to God’s family through Jesus. This Advent, we consider His great story anew. The Jesse Tree is filled with symbols telling the story of Jesus from creation to His second coming. Jesus is the Seed of Jesse’s tree. He is the Root of Jesse’s tree. He is the Life of Jesse’s tree. And He is the Firstfruit of Jesse’s tree.
