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 Rocks & Stones
As Jesus was entering Jerusalem on the day we call "Palm Sunday", the crowds were proclaiming His Glory. When the Pharisees told Jesus to quiet His followers, Jesus responded by saying "I tell you, if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out." As we celebrate Profession of Faith Baptisms we acknowledge that our own hearts of stone become hearts of flesh as we cry out, "Jesus is Lord!"
