2025 Advent week 1: Hope Jesus is Coming

December 01, 2025

Today is the first day of Advent and this morning you got a text to invite you into a reading plan here is the link https://www.bible.com/en/reading-plans/63750

We are going to talk today about:

I. What Advent MEANS 2. Why advent MATTERS 3. Jump into week 1 - HOPE

But first…

Imagine standing in a pitch-black room. You can’t see the walls, the floor, or even your own hands. Then someone lights a single candle. The darkness doesn’t disappear, but everything changes. You can see. You can breathe. You can move.

One flame changes the whole room.

That’s Advent. The coming of Jesus!!!

Christ stepped into the darkness of the world, and one day He will return to remove darkness forever. Advent is the season where the church pauses, breathes, and remembers:

Jesus has come.Jesus is here.And Jesus is coming again.

This is HOPE. Take a moment. Be still. Take a couple breaths. Thank Him. Worship Him!
