December 4th:
Text—Mark 1:1-8
The Message from John the Baptist is consistently one of Repentance. John calls us to repent and prepare the way for
the Lord. The texts for this day remind us that the preparing for the promised one begins on our knees—with prayer and
confession. How are you preparing for the coming of Jesus?
December 11th:
Text—John 1:6-8, 19-28
In Advent so far, we have heard that Jesus is returning and that returning should begin with repentance. Today the lessons
are about responding. The lessons call us to be about mission, to be vigilant with a life that avoids evil and is directed
by prayer, and finally seeking out who this messiah is. People of faith respond to Jesus’ love by seeking out
those in need as well as seeking out the person of Jesus
December 18th:
Text—Luke 1:26-38
In the text for today, we hear of the angel Gabriel visiting Mary and announcing to her God’s plan for her in His plan to
reconcile the world to Himself. Mary is puzzled about how this could be true. God tells her that it is the Holy Spirit
who will come upon you and this child that will be born to her will be most holy. Mary gives a confession of faith with
her words, ‘Here am I, the servant of the Lord; let it be with me according to you word.’
December 25th:
Christmas Day—9:00 AM (one service)
We hear the familiar story of Jesus’ birth. The question for us today is do we make room for Jesus in our lives? We hear
of how Mary and Joseph come to Bethlehem and find no room for them in the town. Thus, Jesus is born in the stable out
back. Do we sometimes get too busy, thus pushing Jesus out? Or do we make room for Jesus and receive him into our
hearts?
