Advent Theme: Hope and Our Holiday Schedule
Happy Advent Dear Friends,
On this first week of Advent we focus on the theme of hope. Let us rejoice in the truth of Hebrews 6:19-20 (ESV)
“We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a HOPE that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”
The anchor of our hope is not in the changing floor of an ocean or the shifting attitudes of our time, but in the unchanging victorious love of our Forerunner and Friend Jesus Christ!
If you missed the first Sunday of Advent with us, be encouraged by Sunday’s messages of hope from Pastor Kathy and Pastor Jade.
Gratefully Yours,
Josh
