Defiant Peace (Luke 2:8-14) - Alex Perello | Advent 2025

Advent signals the beginning of a new year in the church calendar; it all starts with the expectation of God coming near. Advent is celebrated historically as a season of waiting; Israel waited for its saving Messiah, the world waits for that Saviour’s ultimate return, and we wait 4 weeks for the coming of Christmas.This Advent season, we unpack the significance and real-world impact of the incarnation of God; that moment in history when the Creator put skin on. May the wonder and awe of the season truly lead us to worship at His feet.The Garden Church | Mount Pleasant is a neighbourhood church in Vancouver that exists for Mount Pleasant in Jesus' name.
