ADVENT

Historically, Advent has been observed as a time of reflection and longing for the coming of Christ. Though Advent leads to Christmas––a day we celebrate the first coming of Christ––the Advent season also brings us into fellowship with those who, before Christ, longed for his coming, just as we today long for His coming again.

SERMON SERIES
Jesus is the long-awaited Messiah––the Messiah of whom the prophets spoke generations before the incarnation. In this Advent series, we will look at various Messianic Psalms––Psalms that prophesied about the coming of Jesus––and look at the fulfillment of those prophecies. All this that we might prepare our hearts for the coming celebration of Christmas.

ADVENT DEVOTIONAL
This devotional comes from our friends at Redeemer City to City and draws on the full ecosystem of CTC with leaders from many denominations who prioritize similar and diverse spiritual traditions. As CTC notes, "Our own staff represent a variety of experiences when it comes to the season of Advent. What an opportunity and honor this season presents to connect you with 28 leaders from around the world and their Advent reflections written for your consideration." 

There are four weeks of Advent marked by the four Sundays directly preceding Christmas Day. Each week focuses on one of the Advent themes: hope, peace, joy and love. You’ll find a Scripture passage, reflection, question and prayer for each day of the four weeks.
