Prepare To Worship Jesus This Advent Season | Advent Part 1
Manage episode 387456275 series 18700
Do you know what Advent is? It’s a 4-week season in the Christian calendar leading up to Christmas Eve! The word means “coming” or “arrival.” So, Advent looks back to the first arrival of Jesus – the birth of Christ 2000 years ago. But, Advent also looks forward to the second coming of Christ when Jesus will return as our Glorious King. That means you have a great reason to HOPE this Christmas season!
At Advent, Christians all around the world are invited to do 3 things: slow down, clear the clutter in their hearts, and fall in love with Jesus all over again. If you don’t slow down, you may miss the joy and wonder of considering the miracle of Jesus coming to earth as a baby to save us. And after you slow down, take time to clear the clutter in your heart. Make room for Christ! Typically at Christmas we actually drift from Jesus, cluttering our calendar with work, shopping, and parties. Don’t let God get crowded out!
Then, take the time to worship fully! Worship isn’t just the singing of songs on Sunday. Worship is a choice to glorify God and trust him completely. Let worship overwhelm any worry you feel in this season and remember that God is in full control. Magnify the Lord! He sent His Son Jesus just for you to cast out fear, cancel your sin, and give you peace with His very presence.
Watch this message from Pastor Tim Lucas, and start the Advent Season by turning your focus back to Jesus.
