Advent is a time of preparation to commemorate Jesus’s first coming in a stable in Bethlehem two millennia ago and his present arrival into our hearts today. Ultimately, advent points forward to Jesus’ second coming, when he returns to establish his Kingdom across the whole of creation fully. What a beautiful and profound season Advent is!
This advent we are preaching on four passages that embody that beautiful advent prayer calling on us to have the joy of the angels, the eagerness of the shepherds, the determination of the wise men, and the obedience of Mary & Joseph.
