Pastor's Sermon Series:
"Advent"
We journey through Advent as a time of hopeful anticipation. But the presents under the Christmas tree are only the beginning. Anticipation at this level is just a prelude to the anticipation of the coming of Jesus, of his birth, and of his continually coming into our lives. It is this anticipation that we celebrate when we light the Advent candles in worship. Four themes (hope, peace, love, and joy) help us focus on the qualities of life with Jesus. They remind us that the life of the disciple is different from what it would be otherwise. The coming of a new baby is a time of anticipation, hope, and joy. Advent holds the joyful sense that the adult Christ is still coming. The One who came over 2,000 years ago is still coming. He is always coming into our hearts and into our communities. Hence the Advent prayer: May we be ready. May we prepare the way for him to enter our hearts and our world.
