Today beings the Advent season (it always starts the 4th Sunday before Christmas).

The English word “Advent” is from the Latin word “adven- tus,” which means “coming.” The Advent season is a Church tradition that calls us to celebrate the first coming of Jesus, and to patiently long for the 2nd coming of Jesus. In the midst of a chaotic and busy time in our culture, Advent can be a beautiful time of redeeming all the holiday hustle & bustle.

And to that end, todayy we kicked off a new series called “How To Worship A King” in our Sunday service. You can listen to the first sermon here.

But we are also going to be sending out devotionals and articles and scripture thoughts over the next few weeks on a daily basis, written by various people in our church community.  

So I encourage you to take some time each day -- when you wake up in the morning, at lunch-time, or before you go to bed -- to read over and reflect on these devotional thoughts. 

May God use them to fan the flames of worship in your heart for the King of the universe who stepped off his throne and into the muck and mire of humanity to save us.
