22 When You Know It's Christmas: Advent Week 1: Hope

Send us Fan MailChristmas season is here. The hustle bustle busyness of December can easily take our focus off the real reason for the season. This year, Sharon challenges listeners to make time every day of December to be still and know that He is God and to remember and honor the fact that He sent His Son to save us. This Year Sharon is participating in advent and inviting you along. The first week of advent’s topic is hope. Advent is a way to go deeper in studying the gift of Baby Jesus, to appreciate His sacrifice more, and to bring our focus back to a Christmas centered on Christ rather than what the world points us to–consumerism and Santa.This week we will do a deep-dive into Hope. Let us hold unswervingly to the Hope we profess, for He who promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23. Never has God shown as much faithfulness and love toward us than when He sent His only begotten Son that whosoever believes in Jesus will not perish but have eternal life. To miss that blessing and a surrendered heart to Christ is to miss everything.Thank you for sharing the podcast, subscribing and following.
