This message marks the start of the season of Advent. In the words of R.C. Sproul, "The Advent season is that time when we seek to, in a manner of speaking, mute our memory of what has already happened, that we might brighten our joy that it happened. We leave the already of His advent to taste the bitter of the not yet. We, in short, go back, that we might look forward to His coming."
Over the four weeks leading up to Christmas, we reflect on the themes of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love. During the service we will light the candles of the Advent wreath that emblematically represent each week’s theme. As these candles are lit, we will listen to a reflection based on each week’s theme written by individuals within our community. May you experience the brightening of joy as we reflect on Immanuel (God with us).
