Advent isn't just the weeks leading up to Christmas, it's the time we get to look back at the hope that was brought to us that first Christmas morning, and a time to look to the hope that is still to come. Despite the countless issues and struggles in our world, one thing remains true: Jesus is our hope.

Abound in Hope // Romans 15:13

December 26, 2021 • Lorenzo Elizondo • Romans 15:13

We often confuse relief with hope. Relief is a great thing, but it is temporary. Hope, however, is lasting and is what we hold to despite our circumstances. Jesus came to bring hope that stays true through all things. No matter what we face this new year or years to come, Jesus is on the throne and gives us abounding hope through the Holy Spirit.

Christ Was Love // Luke 2:8-14

December 19, 2021 • Lorenzo Elizondo • Luke 2:8–14, 1 John 4:8–9

We go to work, school and sleep like if there aren’t any problems in the world. The truth is, if we take one step out of our comfort, the world’s problems become evident. It’s easy to stay in our safe places, avoiding trouble, but that’s not what Jesus did. In love Jesus came into this world to lay his life down sacrificially in our place. This love is for us! This love arrived that first Christmas morning and continues to change our lives today.

Joy in our Discouragement // Luke 1:5-28

December 12, 2021 • Richard Cantu • Luke 1:5–28, Philippians 1:1–4

Christmas is all about joy! We are reminded of these three truths: joy breaks through our toughest and greatest times, joy comes in the morning and lastly, joy came to us by God through Jesus Christ.
