Advent


     The word Advent comes from the Latin word adventus, and it means arrival or approach.  Christians celebrate Advent in order to prepare their hearts for the Christmas season.  During this time we celebrate the first coming of Jesus in Bethlehem and anticipate His second coming.  Advent begins four Sundays before Christmas and continues up to December 25th. 

     This year we have a special opportunity to celebrate Advent and prepare for the Christmas season.   Each Sunday the morning sermon will come from a Scripture text which concerns the birth of our Savior, and I will produce a daily Bible Study which will accompany the upcoming sermon.  This study will consist of daily Bible readings and a few questions for each day.
