Advent | Luke 1: 57-80 | Drew Knowles | December 23, 2018

This Sunday will mark the 4th week of the season of Advent, a season of longing and preparation for the celebration of the birth of Jesus at Christmas. During Advent, Christians share in the ancient anticipation of the coming Messiah and simultaneously long for His return. Beginning with Advent, we will journey through the Gospel of Luke, which tells us that God’s salvation has come through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Our salvation in Jesus is not an abstract concept, nor is it merely set in the future. It changes the way we live and calls every man, woman, and child to receive God’s grace and extend it to others.
