Today we rejoice! The "light" has come and gives us hope.
Jesus said, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." (John 8:12)
As we look forward to the new year, let us be mindful to share God's light with those who walk in darkness.

Fourth Sunday of Advent: Love

John 3:16-19, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.”

Matthew 2:10-11

Second Sunday of Advent we focus on Preparation
How are you preparing for the Savior's coming? Prepare your heart - pray daily and spend time in God's word.

“A voice of one calling:‘In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord;make straight in the desert a highway for our God.
Every valley shall be raised up,every mountain and hill made low;the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain.And the glory of the Lord will be revealed,and all people will see it together.For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’”
Isaiah 40:3-5

HOPE - Hope is what we celebrate this first Sunday of Advent

"For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this." Isaiah 9:6-7
