Advent #1
This week is the first Sunday of advent. Advent is an important season in the church calendar, for some all they might know of advent is the calendars but there is so much more. Advent is about waiting, expectantly for the coming of Jesus, its when we look at the lead up to Jesus coming through the virgin birth. Its also a time for us to look at waiting for Jesus to come back again. I heard a preacher once talk about how at the end of a sermon he just stated “Jesus will come back and make everything right” that’s the truth that we believe. Waiting can be hard but Jesus will always come in expected and unexpected ways and that’s what we’ll look at this Sunday through the lens of Isaiah’s writing in chapter 64.
