DLC17.0-The First Sunday of Advent

Mark shares the differences of calendars and how we celebrate Advent of the church calendar, the four Sundays preceding Christmas. We learn how Advent looks forward to the arrival of Jesus in three ways: 1) His arrival in Bethlehem, 2) HIs arrival in our heart, and 3) His coming again. Learn more how the first candle of Advent reflects prophecy. Mark then expands on John 1 and Luke 1 encouraging us to consider how we are linked and what our purpose is in life that is God’s design. We must seek first His kingdom and righteousness trusting God’s methods for the future - not in fear, but faith.
