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.

It's not the elements of our worship that are awesome. It's the object of our worship Who is awesome.

God is huge! He is ginormous! He is greater than every thought we have ever had of Him.

Worship is when we give God His breath back

Simply by our proximity to Jesus, we can bring hope and life to people and places trapped in discouragement and despair.

Advent is the season that can remind us God is working while we're waiting and we're really waiting with God.

How many of you heard the voice of God speak specifically, clearly, directly, and personally, to you? Can you just put a hand up? I'd like you to share it. Can you put a hand up for a minute? Just want you to look around; that's people saying, "God Almighty, the Maker of heaven, the one Who's sitting on the only throne that's not under threat - He spoke to me. He spoke to me." "God spoke to me." Don't let the voice of the darkness tell you that you are not worth that God would not speak to you. Don't let him tell you, you don't matter. God spoke to you.
