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.

FOR THE GOOD OF THE WORLD
Acts 25:1-26:32 - We all want peace and calm in our lives and, therefore, naturally resist anything new that messes with that. The powers of this world feel threatened by the Gospel and attack it. But in front of the kings and rulers of this world, Paul makes the closing argument that the Gospel is good news for the world.
