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.

It's Supernatural
Supernatural Giving is when we invite God into our offering. This type of generosity usually surrounds a pledge campaign, or meeting a very special and specific need for someone else. Having identified our normal giving, then having identified the specific things we would sacrifice for Him - we now humbly and prayerfully ask God to speak to us and tell us He wants us to be generous beyond that figure, because we believe He will work supernaturally in our lives to make that number happen. We don't act recklessly. We think and pray as a family and come to unity. And then, watch God make it happen. Watch God intervene in our lives.
