This Christmas, let’s celebrate the One who was sent for us, and who now sends us into the world in His name.
-
Advent means “arrival” – it is a season that spans the four Sundays and weekdays leading up to Christmas Day where we reflect on the birth of Jesus Christ and prepare for His return.
-
We celebrate Christmas because God sent His son into the world. But, who is Jesus, and what did He come to do?
During Advent, we’ll explore how Jesus fulfills four key roles: Prophet, Priest, King, and Savior. Each week reveals a new dimension of who He is and how we’re called to live as people sent in His name.
