During Advent, we remember and celebrate the arrival of Jesus and join together in the hope of his ultimate return. It’s hard in our busy world to make room for important things, but we must strive to make room for Christ and the hope. peace, joy, and love that He brings.
This morning, we will learn that the Advent season teaches us to make room for the joy that can only be found in Christ. Once we find that joy, we have a responsibility to share it with others.
