Repentance, Faith, Holiness, and Love:
An Advent Study
November 30, Dec. 7, 14, 21
For at least 1,700 years, Christians have observed a season of prayer and preparation leading up to Christmas. Advent is a word that means “to come, to show up,” and in the chaos of the shopping and party frenzy, we Christians try to pull the shutters down on all that and do some soul searching, some praying, some repenting. Company is coming, and it’s a baby—and not just any baby, but Mary’s child, the Savior of the world. The question of Advent is “Will there be room?” Can we sweep out the clutter of our lives and leave a space into which God might become reality?
