25+ Advent Scripture Calendars to Help You Focus on Christ

One of the easiest simplest, yet most important ways you can countdown to Christmas, is by doing an advent scripture calendar.

Every day for 24 days, your advent calendar with scriptures shares a scripture referencing the Savior, his impending birth, His actual birth, or shares a small part of the nativity story.

I shared many of these advent calendars with scripture verses last year in my list of nativity advent calendars but I wanted to find even more that were the scripture-a-day advent calendars.

I found several great free printable scripture advent calendars, perfect for people who want to make a DIY advent calendar, or simply add scripture cards or scripture slips into their existing advent calendars.

But, I also share several scripture advent calendars you can just purchase, many for $5 or less!

Advent Scriptures

First, I wanted to take a minute to simply share with you some excellent scriptures to use as part of your scripture advent calendar. The links take you to a KJV of the scripture but use whatever Bible translation you prefer.

New Testament Advent Scripture Verses

Old Testament Advent Scripture Verses

LDS Advent Scriptures

*The above scriptures are from The Book of Mormon: Another Testament of Jesus Christ for those who belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
