Advent 1: Meanwhile, We Hope and Wait | November 30, 2025

This Sunday, we enter into the season of Advent, a season of waiting, watching, and preparing for Jesus.

We often think about our participation in church and worship as us taking time for God, but Advent is about God taking time for us. Advent is about God refusing to leave us alone, and instead relentlessly insisting on breaking into our world. In Jesus Christ, God is bringing heaven to earth and changing everything.

Over the next four weeks, our Advent series “Heaven and Earth” celebrates and anticipate the earth-shaking, life-transforming good news that God is coming to us. Watch out. Get ready. God is on the way.

Today's Scripture readings are Isaiah 64:1-9, Psalm 80:3-7, and Mark 13:24-37.
