Throughout the month of December, we have looked at the Hope, Joy, Love, and Peace that comes through the Advent of Jesus. On this final Sunday of 2024, Char Brodersen considers what it means to continually live in the Advent spirit—in expectation of the arrival of the Lord Jesus, not only when he comes to make all things new, but his arrival and presence with us each day through the Holy Spirit.
Advent of Joy
December 22, 2024
How do we maintain joy in a world filled with sorrow, pain, injustice, and suffering? We turn from the story the world is telling to the story God has told us in his word. We read it, we meditate on it, we assimilate it, we believe it, we live it, and we proclaim it. Listen as Pastor Brian teaches from Luke on the Good News of Great Joy.
The Advent of Love
December 15, 2024
In preparing our hearts for the coming of the Lord Jesus, we consider the theme of love—God’s great gift of love in giving his Son, the Son in giving himself. But sometimes, the challenge for us is remembering the radical nature of God’s love. Watch as Char Brodersen continues our Advent series by considering the great love of God from 1 John 4.
