The Advent of Love
1 John 4:7-12 | The love of God can be one of those things that we overlook or get too close to and not see the power and beauty behind it. Like visiting the Grand Canyon over and over again, after a while, it can lose its draw. We grow calloused with God's love. But let us not let a knowledge familiarity keep us from experiencing the depth and height and width and length of the amazing, awe-inspiring, life-transforming love of God.

Luke 2:8-11 | At Christmas time we sing about joy, we decorate with the word joy, but do we stop and really meditate on why the birth of Christ is so paramount to joy in the human heart. When the angel burst on the scene announcing the birth of Christ, he announced good news of great...? Joy! So let's look at this announcement together and understand fully how the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem allows joy to abound in the human heart.

Micah 5:1-5 | Peace. A longing of every human heart, and yet found to be so elusive by so many. Anxiety is skyrocketing, the headlines are the antithesis of peace, accomplishments pursued yet peace not found. Where do we look for peace? In a place? A position? A posture? Or in a person? The Advent season reminds us to truly take to heart the fact that Jesus is our peace but practically what does this mean?
Luke 2:22-38 | This time of year gets busy. All of the normal rhythms to our year can get thrown around as the calendar flips to December. There are extended school breaks on the horizon, Christmas parties to attend, annual traditions to look forward to. This is great fun and yet can mean life gets pretty busy. In the midst of that busyness, we long to keep Jesus at the center of our worship this Christmas. Together we will seek to do that very thing this Advent season. As we begin the advent series, we look to the hope that came to us in Christ coming to earth. How does the coming of Christ inform how we hope and who we hope in?
