Sermon Series: Advent
As we near Christmas, we occupy now a season of prayer and repentance in hopeful anticipation of the return of Jesus. Just as the Old Testament saints waited in darkness for the coming of the Messiah and God’s promised redemption (Isaiah 9:2; Matthew 4:16), we now await His second coming, His glorious entry into the world again, His adventus, or advent. Thus, in this season while we remember the first coming of Jesus, we celebrate and look forward to His second coming.

The Other Side Of The Tomb
The thing that sets Jesus apart from any other prophet, leader, or teacher in history is that when He died, Jesus did not stay dead. He walked out of that tomb alive. And the same is true for us. By the grace of the cross, though we were once dead in our sins, we can each be made new and alive through Him. But our story does not end there, in that individual moment. Because life on the other side of the tomb is fully lived in community.
