Words of Advent
HOPE, LOVE, JOY, AND PEACE
For many, Christmas is one of the most eagerly anticipated holidays of the year—a season of giving, where friends and families come together to celebrate and exchange gifts.
However, Christmas transcends mere holiday festivities; its essence resides in the Son of God, Jesus. In an extraordinary display of love, He assumed our humanity (while remaining truly God) to embark on a crucial mission: to save us from impending judgment due to our sins.
In this Bible Study with Dr. Mark Rae, we will delve into how Christmas can be summarized in four significant words: Hope, Love, Joy, and Peace. The more we understand these words, the better we appreciate what Jesus has done for us.
Join us in exploring the meaning of Advent by examining Jesus's life and sacrifice through the lens of grace. Let’s rediscover what Christmas is all about—the love of God in Jesus! Register now to get the recording!
