“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
~ Matthew 3:2
This Sunday is week two of our Advent season.
We will light the Peace Candle.
And we'll hear the surprising, and unwelcomed, message of Jesus' cousin John the Baptizer.
John preached a simple message,
"Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near."
And he used a few images that help to understand the true meaning of Christmas-
A Road.
A River.
An Ax.
And a Fire.
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come."
~ Jesus, Matthew 24:42
Advent is our season of preparation and anticipation for Christmas.
It is the four Sundays that lead us to our celebration of Jesus’ birth.
Perhaps you grew up in a church that made much of Advent.
Or not.
Either way you are invited to go all in this year with Connections!
Join us this Sunday as we look the future hope of Christmas-
Jesus' second coming.
