Advent Sermon Series: Making Room for Christmas

In our church, in our homes, in our calendars, we’re making room for Christmas. But how about in our hearts?

This Advent, we’ll embark on a journey to make room within ourselves for the good news of this season. And there is so. much. good. news! “But how can this be?” “God has lifted up the lowly.” “Behold, I bring to you good news of great joy for all people.” “And this shall be a sign unto you…”

The heart of the good news of Christmas is that God comes to be with us, offering us gifts of peace and hope and joy and love. The question for each of us this season is whether we’ll make room to receive them. Join us in worship as we begin Making Room for Christmas.
