ADVENT: The 'Big' Story of the Bible

Each year the season of Advent consists of 4 Sundays where we look more closely at the amazing story that sits at the center of the story of the Bible.  This story is of such importance in the Bible that it is told not just from one perspective, but from four!  Matthew, Mark, Luke and John each record their own versions of God breaking into human history by becoming one of us in the Person of Jesus.  This year, we are privileged to look at this Big Story through the eyes of each of the storytellers.  On November 30 we opened the series by looking at the story through the eyes of Matthew and noticed his emphasis on Jesus as the King who came in the line of David and was the fulfillment of the whole Old Testament story.  This coming Sunday, December 7, we will look at how Mark presents Jesus from a more Roman perspective and shows him to be a Servant King - the one who comes 'not be be served, but to serve'. 

We welcome you to join us as we worship together on these Advent Sundays!  (Due to technical difficulties, the first 2 sermons are not uploaded in audio format).  Here is an outline of our Sundays:

1. November 30 - Matthew's Perspective - 'The King announced by a Star'; we light the Candle of Light
2. December 7 - Mark's Perspective - 'The Servant King'; we light the Candle of Promise
3. December 14 - Luke's Perspective - 'The Man Jesus'; we light the Candle of Hope
4. December 21 - John's Perspective - 'The Son of God'; we light the Candle of Love
