Throughout Advent, our morning worship services will include Advent candles, readings, banners, and special messages. This year’s Advent theme is “PARABLES OF PROMISE”. Jesus says his parables are about the mysteries of the kingdom. But these familiar “riddles” – about mustard seeds and buried treasure, wheat and tares and fishing nets – also have much to teach about the kingdom’s mysterious King and the people who follow him. Let’s prepare our hearts together for this special season.

Jesus speaks plainly of his special relationship with the Father, which calls us to respond with confession of his deity, increased confidence in his saving work, great assurance of his commitment to sinners, and renewed worship; for he is the Lord of Glory
