Advent is more than a countdown to Christmasβ€”it’s the confession that God stepped into human history. If Jesus is truly God in the flesh, then His presence changes everything. Advent looks back to the cradle in Bethlehem, remembering a God who keeps His promises, and it looks forward in faith, trusting that the same Jesus who came once will come again. It’s not passive waiting; it makes us awake, alert, and expectant. We live differently now because the King has comeβ€”and because He is coming again. Each week reminds us of what His arrival brings into our lives today.

November 30
The Advent of HOPE
-
In a world still shadowed by darkness, His coming declares that hope is not wishful thinking but confidence in a faithful God who keeps His promises.

December 7
The Advent of PEACE
-
Jesus doesn’t just give peaceβ€”He is peace. His presence breaks the power of fear and brings a deep, transforming shalom that circumstances cannot steal.

December 14
The Advent of JOY
-
The angel didn’t announce shallow happiness but great joyβ€”a durable joy rooted not in what’s happening around us but in who came to be with us.

December 21
The Advent of LOVE
-
Advent culminates in loveβ€”God moving toward us, rescuing us, embracing us, and making a way home even when we could not reach Him

Christmas Eve at 3:30 or 5PM
