Advent Candles
intro -
Welcome
We are so glad you were able to join us this morning
this morning we will continue in our series on Advent
We have defined advent as the coming of a notable person
That notable person is Jesus
The first candle
(light the blue candle)
Expectation of Hope
Jesus brings Hope to the Hopeless
The second candle
(light the blue candle)
Preparation of Peace
the way you do that is by being honest and saying God, I am a sinner and I need you
last week we introduced the 3rd candle
(light pink candle)
Proclamation and Joy
we wont cover the gender reveal parties
church that is why we often struggle with the joy of Jesus
because we are so focus on the here and now the temporary rather than the eternal
a lot of pastors struggle, myself included because they base their upcoming week on 1 hour during Sunday
because they like a lot of people focus so much on a temporary thing and expect Jesus to come in and fix just that one thing and make us happy
Jesus wants to come in because he has fixed the sin problem and bring us Joy!
this brings us to todays candle
(light blue candle)
The Revelation and Peace
The message of the angels was do not be afraid because they are bringing good news, great Joy
that good news church is that Jesus has come
This brings us to our last candle
The Christ Candle
(light center candle)
This is the story of Jesus
how awesome this story is and how amazing this story is!
This is what advent is all about
advent defined if you will recall is the coming or arrival of a notable person
See Jesus is that notable person
like we learned last week this little boy was going to save the world
Jesus came to seek and save those who were hurting and lost
That is you and I
Jesus came into my life when I was 7 yrs old and from that point it has been a roller coster ride, I have had mountain top moments and had vally moments, i have been in the belly of a whale before too
But it is the coming of Christ that saved me
It is Jesus that saved me through his death on the cross
this says that you and I are sinners
this says that while you and I were still sinners, Jesus loved us enough to die for us
this says that because of our sin we all deserved today
BUT
But Jesus paid that debt on the cross with his inocent life
This says how you and I can be saved
it is admitting you are a sinner and crying out that you need God
It is a once and for all thing
As we move to our normal time of invitation I want to invite you to reflect on your relationship with Christ
if you do not have one then I want you to invite you to begin one today
See if you have Jesus in your heart then you have the light of the world living in you, it is our job to shine that light
light the candles
