Rejoice!
Paul writes that it is Lord’s will that we rejoice always. Jesus told His disciples that He has come to give them a joy that the world cannot take away. But how do we rejoice when there are so many things in the world and within us that seem intent on stealing our joy? What is the joy of the Lord and what does it mean for us as we celebrate His coming?
From Series: "Prepare the Way"
The Season of Advent is about preparing for the coming of the Lord. We commemorate His first coming at Christmas. We anticipate His reappearing in glory on the day of resurrection. And we celebrate His coming among us in Word and Sacrament. Our series focuses on four words: Watch. Repent. Deny. Trust.
