The word advent means "expectation." What advent can do for us is create a sense of hope.

Worship starts with seeing something great and then reflecting it to the world. Let's see God so we can reflect God.

If you've been served by God, you've arrived.

Advent allows us to recover during this four-week journey. It begins four Sundays before Christmas all the way up to Christmas. It lets us breath in those moments of faithfulness and helps us recognize that God is working.

Whether it's an attorney or a bond trader or a journalist, or a musician or pastor, you want to do your best. You don't want to seek acclaim. You don't want to seek awards. You want to seek to do your best at what God's given you.

Our scars are a witness to the world. They are apart of our story. Healed wounds that are symbols that God has restored us.

It is because of our foolishness that we forget who God is.
