In conjunction with our Advent series entitled “A Thrill of Hope,” 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- that in essence was the First Advent. Now, we the children of God who live on this side of the Cross are waiting expectantly for Christ 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 this time reflecting on who we were, what God has promised and delivered through Jesus Christ. Through this time may we also allow the Holy Spirit to reset Jesus Christ as the center of not just the Christmas season but more importantly of our lives.
