“When the time had fully come, God sent his Son.” God’s people had been waiting for hundreds, thousands of years for God to send the rescuer. As the time approached, God sent his messengers to declare that the waiting was nearly over. The king of all creation was entering the world. This Advent, we will prepare for the Christ-child by listening to God’s messengers of Good News, the angels, as they appear to Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds. They have a message from God of good news that brings great joy, which is for all people. This Advent, during our Midweek worship services, we will ponder the mystery of the virgin birth, the incarnation, and the humility of God as he becomes one with us to rescue us from sin and death. We’ll be singing Christmas carols and joining the angels in their songs of praise. We too are messengers, sent from God, to invite others “to see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us.”
Worship with us on Wednesdays – December 1, 8, and 15 – at 10AM or 6PM on our Parkway Campus.
