In conjunction with our Advent series entitled “The God We’ve Waited For”. We will spend this month reading through the Scriptures that will help us maximize this blessed time of Advent.
What is Advent? Advent comes from the Latin word adventus meaning ‘arrival’ or ‘coming’. The people of God in the Old Testament looked forward to the coming of a Savior/Messiah- Christ’s birth is the first Advent.
On this side of the Cross Christians are waiting expectantly for Christ’s return—the second Advent.
Traditionally, Advent counts down the four weeks leading up to Christmas. Practically, Advent reminds us to look forward to His return every day. In this season we will spend time reflecting on who we were, and what God has promised and delivered through Jesus Christ. May we also allow the Holy Spirit to reset Jesus Christ as the center of not just the Christmas season but of our lives.
