About this message
Advent. Formed from a Latin word meaning “coming” or “arrival”, the “advent”of television, the internet, and smartphones don’t compare to the Advent of Jesus Christ. Of all the Christian words we use around the holidays, Advent is probably one of the most familiar, and yet most distant at the same time. From a little advent calendar with windows in it to the use of the word itself, “Advent” looks different today than how the church has historically celebrated it. There’s nothing wrong with putting up a tree and listening to our favorite Christmas songs, but the point of Advent is so much bigger–to spend four weeks remembering Christ and preparing for Christmas. Join us as we reclaim the meaning of Advent. For the next four weeks, we’re going to focus on a different name or title given to Jesus. Let’s learn more about our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace.
