Preparing for Sunday Worship—December 20, 2015

Here is the worship guide for the fourth Sunday of Advent.

Advent means “coming” or “arrival.” It’s a four-week period leading up to Christmas in which we celebrate the first coming of Jesus and look forward to his promise to come again. The theme of our Advent celebration this year is “Abundance.” At the heart of all reality is God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This Three-in-One God enjoys abundant life within himself and overflows with goodness, love, and delight. The gospel is the good news that Jesus came to make that life accessible to us, to invite us into the very life of God. Our hope is that this Advent season would be a time of renewal in your life.

Pastor Jason will continue our "Abundance" series by preaching on "Abundant Hope." We will sing the following songs:

Come, Thou Long Expected Jesus

Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)

God With Us

Hope of the Nations

Hark the Herald Angels Sing/King of Heaven
