Advent Series Dec 1 - 22:
The countdown is on! You're invited to our series through the four Sundays of Advent as we unwrap Christmas and open God's amazing gift for us.
The Bible doesn't make it more than two pages before it starts telling us what Jesus will do. The serpent will harm Jesus, but Jesus will destroy the serpent in return! Like a child before Christmas(!), God so wants to unwrap his gifts and show us what's coming.
