Advent is a season filled with expectation.

It’s a time when we remember the world waiting for a coming Savior, and celebrate the way the world changed when Christ was born.

It’s a season filled with the light and love of Jesus, the King, born to save us.

Advent is a season filled with expectation.

It’s a time when we remember the world waiting for a coming Savior, and celebrate the way the world changed when Christ was born.

It’s a season filled with the light and love of Jesus, the King, born to save us.

But if we’re being honest, it’s also a season filled with distraction.

As Christmas approaches, the focus of Advent sometimes gets lost amidst the chaos and craziness that comes with the holiday season.

So to help us focus our attention on the heart behind this special season, we’ve walked through a four-week series for Advent.

Each week focused on a specific aspect reflected in the birth of King Jesus—hope, joy, peace, and love.

Today marks the end of our journey through this series, my prayer is that as we turn our eyes to the coming Savior this Christmas season, our hearts will be transformed as we remember the birth of the King who came to save us!
