PLAN AHEAD! CHRISTMAS EVE SERVICE IS 6PM

SEASON OF ADVENT

The season of Advent is a period of time celebrating the expectant waiting and anticipation of the incarnation of God in the person of Jesus Christ as recorded in the gospels. Advent begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas, generally lasting about a month, and leads up to the Nativity of Jesus Christ and culminating on Christmas Eve/Christmas Day.  This year, the first Sunday of Advent begins on November 29, and we will light the first of five candles on that day.  Each Sunday in Advent, candles are lit progressively each week until all five are lit during our Christmas Eve worship service.  With each candle lighting, we recite Scriptures and sing in anticipation of the past, present and coming Jesus.

This year, the Advent readings will be based on selected Scriptures fitted around the beautiful Advent hymn by Charles Wesley, "Come Thou, Long Expected Jesus."

The word "Advent" means "coming," and is a time when Christians benefit from purposefully meditating on the three ways in which Jesus has advanced, is now advancing, and will advance toward us: 

The first way, of course, is that Jesus, God in the flesh, was born as a human infant in Bethlehem, Israel more than 2000 years ago, and grew to manhood to sacrifice Himself for repentant sinners in His death on the cross and His subsequent resurrection from death (celebrated in the spring, during Holy Week and Easter). 
 
The second way Jesus comes to us is right now, in His gospel call to men, women and children everywhere to repent and turn away from sin (moral rebellion) and instead ask Him to forgive them and trust His sacrifice for them and be reconciled to God.  Jesus calls to the heart of people in the world everywhere, every day, right this moment to be born afresh in their hearts and promises to make them into a new creation, a child of God.

The third Advent of Jesus is promised to come, and when God promises something, it will most definitely, certainly, actually... happen.  We are not told when He will return, but we know that right now we are nearly 2000 years closer than when He ascended to heaven after His resurrection and at that time we were promised He would return, one more time, finally.  And when Jesus comes again, He told us Himself that He will come "with power and great glory," (Mark 13:26) and He will come not as a vulnerable infant, but as a mighty warrior and conquering King, bringing indescribable blessings to those who are loyal to Him, whether living or dead, and terrible judgment on those who reject Him, whether living or dead.  

When Christians celebrate Advent, it does us only some little benefit to just meditate on the baby in a cattle feed box; no, we are spiritually nourished with much greater benefit to consider if He has indeed come to us and if we have received Him.  We should ask ourselves if we have welcomed Him as the One we have called upon to save us.  Have we been born again by receiving Him as our Savior?  Let us "examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith," (2 Corinthians 13:5) and be sure we have His forgiveness, that we truly belong to Him and are growing in a restored love relationship with God.  And during Advent, we must remember and take hope in the sure knowledge that Jesus will suddenly rip the skies open on a day we may not expect, but we might very well see ourselves, and He will make all things right, and all things new, and we will forever live in the immediate presence of God.  May He come soon!​​
