Advent Message Series – “All I Want for Christmas”

Have you been asked, “What do you want for Christmas?” How have you answered? We all have things we desire or want for Christmas, and in some of our relationships, we feel obligated to give something. As we grow and mature, the list changes from childish delights to adult longings. At some point, the desires become intangible, things you cannot wrap and open. You want time with people you love. Some peace and quiet maybe. A bit of rest. And then, the list moves deeper. It becomes a list of things that no one other than God can really give us. Things of deep meaning and value. Gifts like hope, peace, joy, love, Jesus. Those gifts will be the point of a series of messages during the advent season in our worship together. Our sermon series is entitled “All I Want for Christmas” and each Sunday and Christmas Eve we’ll look at the true gifts that Christ brings with his coming into our world. I pray you’ll be there each Sunday with an open heart to receive the gifts that God has for each of us.
