Our Advent series is Hope is Born. Each week we look at a different aspect of how we prepare ourselves for hope. The message for today is “Preparing” and is a look what it means to prepare for hope. How does one prepare for hope? In a year full of turmoil what can we do to prepare for hope? What are we preparing for? Where is our hope? We prepare our hearts to receive the hope that was born on Christmas Day.
Our scripture readings for today come from Isaiah 40:1-11; 2 Peter 3:8-15a; and Mark 1:1-8.
“Child of Peace” is our last Sunday in Advent Children. As we look to Christmas we ask a difficult question. How does one prepare for peace? What does peace mean to us? How do we share peace? We experience the advent of Christ as a child of God.
Our scripture reading comes from Micah 5:2-5a.
We start our Advent series today. “Child of Promise” is the first sermon in the Advent Children series. How do we see God’s promise in Jeremiah? Is it about the birth of the Messiah? Jesus in our lives today? Christ yet to come? Or is it all those things? We experience the advent of Christ as a child of God.
Our scripture reading comes from Jeremiah 33:14-16.
Our Lenten series is Act with Christ, and our first message in this series is “Get to the Wilderness.” Today we hear The familiar story of Christ’s baptism and temptation in the wilderness. But that was Jesus doing in the wilderness? How do we prepare ourselves for ministry? Let us prepare our hearts to Act with Christ.
Our scripture reading comes from Mark 1:9-15.
