Text: Isaiah 40:3-5
Theme: The passage is a call to each of us to revive our hearts as we contemplate the splendor and glory of Advent.

This morning, we will begin a sermon series for the Season of Advent.
Advent is a season in the Church calendar dedicated to the hopeful anticipation for the arrival or "advent" of Jesus of Nazareth.
It’s something the Church has been celebrating, in some form, for 1,700 years.
It’s meant to be a time of reflection remembering Christ’s 1st Advent, and of spiritual preparation in anticipating Christ’s 2nd Advent.
There are many traditions surrounding the celebration of Advent, but the one that is most common among all branches of Christianity is the Advent Wreath, and the lighting of Advent Candles, that reminds us Sunday-by-Sunday of a different aspect of the character of the Christ-child.
It’s a period that emphasizes hope, peace, love, and joy.
This year, I’m going to do something a little different.
All of my Advent messages will come from the Book of Isaiah.
He is the Old Testament prophet Isaiah who most clearly presents the life and ministry of Christ, whom he presents as The Suffering Servant.
This morning we’ll begin with one of the most well-known passages in Isaiah concerning the coming of Christ.
ILLUS.
