Advent is the season in which we prepare to welcome Jesus into the world. It’s a season of hope – the light has not come, but it is coming into the world. It’s the time of day just before the sun peeks over the horizon. As we anticipate Jesus’ birth, we come to realize that God’s story didn’t end at Christmas – it was only beginning. And the story is still being told today – a story of love, hope and promise.

What does it mean to say that God is still telling the great story of love through us?

Faith

Elemental

According to Hebrews, Faith is the "reality of what we hope for." How can we experience the reality of what isn't real yet? A life of faith is grounded in the resurrection of Jesus, who Paul calls the "first fruits" of those who will be raised. Faith is living now as if God's promises are already true.

From Series: "Elemental"

Elements are the basic building blocks of life. Oxygen, Hydrogen, Carbon - the simplest substances that combine to form everything that makes living possible. What are the basic elements of the life Jesus calls "truly life"? In 1 Corinthians 13, Paul tells us that only three things last forever - Faith, Hope and Love. What are they? And how do they combine to create our life?
