Series: Advent & Christmas

Too often in December, we rush into the “Christmas spirit” with fun music 🎅, fun parties 🎄, and fun gift giving 🎁. But Advent is a season of preparation. We get ready to celebrate the first coming of Christ into this world. We also get ready for His Second Coming at the end of the world…or at the end of our individual lives. During Advent, we get ready to die.
