It's hard to believe that the Christmas Season has begun. The stores are busy, Black Friday was a success from the marketing perspective, and the hustle and bustle of the holiday has officially begun.
Far more importantly to me, and I hope to all believers, the Season of Advent has begun. To me, the Season of Advent is the Christmas Season. Advent more accurately points to the real reason we celebrate Christmas, the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Advent provides a time of reflection, Bible Study, and prayer to prepare our hearts for Christmas. Advent helps to keep our mind set on what is important.
I encourage you to do something special this Advent Season. Begin a new Bible Study, start journaling, change your time in prayer. Allow God to speak to you in the Advent Season to bring you to a new, fresh, and very exciting time this Christmas. A time of incredible closeness and spirituality. A time of blessing.
The sermon message on Sunday talked about Advent, and what Advent means to me. you can read it, or listen to the recording, by clicking here.
Thanks for reading.
