Prepare the Way: Hope

Luke 1:5-25

As Advent begins with the birth of John the Baptist being foretold, we prepare the way for Hope to arrive! As we hear Zechariah and Elizabeth’s story, we hear the angel’s words of hope that that their son will “make ready a people prepared for the Lord.” In this Advent journey, how can we be inspired to prepare the way for hope? 


Sunday, December 8, 9 & 10:45 am

in person & online

Prepare the Way: Peace

Luke 1:26-38

The angel Gabriel reveals to Mary about the “holy one to be born” to her. Mary’s faith responds, “I am the Lord’s servant, may your word to me be fulfilled.” She found peace with this amazing news! Even in our day, how can we be inspired to prepare the way for peace? 

And it's our first of two Christmas Choir Sundays this time featuring special music with FaithWestwood's Chancel Choir.

Prepare the Way: Love

Luke 1:57-66 & 67-80

John the Baptist is born and named. As Zechariah’s tongue is set free, he praises the Lord “because he has come to his people and redeemed them.” God’s redemption comes to us because of His great love! In these days before Christmas Eve, how can we be inspired to prepare the way for love? 

And it's our second of two Christmas Choir Sundays, this time featuring special music with our Contemporary Christmas Choir.

*Bonus* Prepare the Way

Luke 2:21-40 & 41-52

As we continue to celebrate Christmas, we hear childhood stories of Jesus remembering when Jesus was circumcised on the eighth day, when he was presented in the temple, and even when he was found at his Father’s house. These foundational stories help to shape how Jesus “grew in wisdom and stature, in favor with God and man.” How might we remember our foundation of faith as we finish this year well and prepare the way for a New Year?
