First Sunday of Advent

Worship Focus: Today is the first Sunday of the church year and the first Sunday in the season of Advent. As we prepare ourselves for the celebration of Jesus’ birth this Advent season, the Scripture readings for this first week of the season encourage us to also prepare ourselves for the final judgment. Faith in Christ prepares us for that day and assures us that we have nothing to fear when Jesus returns to this world a second time on the Last Day.
