Advent Sermon Series
Our Advent sermon series, For Unto Us, invites us to journey through the traditional themes of the Advent wreath—hope, peace, love, and joy—through the eyes of the prophets. These ancient voices point us toward the promised Messiah and remind us that God has been at work long before the manger. Join us as we rediscover the beauty of expectation and the good news still unfolding.
