Voices of Advent, our sermon series leading up to Christmas based on the book of the same name by Matthew L. Skinner, will invite us to allow different voices in the Bible to shape our lives and Christmas celebrations. Together we’ll listen as Jesus promises to return to us in the future, to John the Baptist as he prepares the way for the Messiah, to the faithful people and poets who anticipate the magnificence of Jesus’s birth, and to the angels and visionaries who praise God when Christmas dawns. We’ll hear hope in all the voices as we experience Advent not only as the start of the Christian Church Year but also as the powerful overture that sets the tone for the incredible story of Jesus.
