The Word Before Christmas

This weekend we begin Advent by looking not to Bethlehem but to eternity. Advent starts with awe and anticipation as we prepare our hearts for His coming. This week's message invites us to see waiting not as wasted time but as sacred preparation for the God who reveals Himself in Jesus. As the season begins, we are encouraged to slow down, breathe deeply, and wait with expectation, not just for Christmas but for Christ Himself.
