Jesus, we welcome your arrival at last! The Story is yours.

And no matter how much the darkness howls and threatens and fights to snuff it out, the darkness has not, and will not, overcome it.

Where is God when our world comes undone? The manger tells us he is with us.

Who you were, where you were, what you were before Jesus is not the story. Your story began when Jesus stepped into it.

The Way of Jesus is, in fact, just that. It’s a holy rebellion against the way things are.

The true King Jesus has come to establish his true kingdom, once and future, now and forever.

The wait will soon be over. And when this long-awaited King arrives, he will bring with him a restoration of Eden.

In Advent we don’t find the way. The Way finds us.

Advent is an invitation to perceive. Christmas calls us to look again.

Because he is the Most High God, he is utterly above and beyond us in every way—holiness ablaze and untouchable.

Worship is reality, a declaration of the most real reality that Yahweh is God and I am his.

Advent teaches us to sing in the dark. With the stubborn hope that the Light is on the way.
