The word "Advent" means arrival. Advent is a sacred season in the Christian community that marks the preparation for the celebration of Christ’s birth as celebrated on Christmas Day, as well as a time of hopeful anticipation for His second coming.

Advent is observed over four weeks, each week focuses on a specific theme: Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. The theme of Hope (yakhal) is rooted in Romans 15:13, which states, "May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him." Peace (shalom) is emphasized through Isaiah 9:6, proclaiming, "For to us a child is born... and his name shall be called Prince of Peace." Joy (chara) is highlighted in Luke 2:10, where the angel declares, "I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people." Finally, Love (agape) is exemplified in John 3:16, which reminds us, "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son." Together, these themes guide believers in deepening their faith and preparing their hearts for the second coming of Christ.

John 14:1-3 (NKJV) reads: "Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father's house are many mansions'; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.
