Series Information
Advent is a season of great joy when we celebrate Jesus’ arrival as a baby. The God who loves us came to be with us as one of us to reconcile us to God the Father. Yet, this season of hope and joy, can often feel overwhelming as we face increasing busyness and debt along with relational conflict or reminders of the loss of loved ones. We aren’t alone in the tension between joy and anxiety. When the good news was first announced it came hand in hand with the phrase: “Do not be afraid!” These divine encounters brought fear, but also an invitation to witness miraculous births and the arrival of the reign of Jesus.
Join us as we listen to the stories of Zechariah, Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds who have incredible encounters with angelic beings. They are called to lay down their fears to accept a divine invitation into the story of the coming of the King.
