First Sunday in Advent: A King is Coming

We're looking ahead to the First Sunday in Advent! The Rev. James Gier, Senior Pastor of Ascension Lutheran Church in Fort Wayne, Indiana, joins Andy and Sarah to study the readings and themes for the First Sunday in Advent. They discuss how we observe and prepare in Advent, what we learn from the prophets about the coming King, what kind of King is coming, how the Advent season is full of both repentance and hope, and where we see these themes in both the days of Noah and the New Testament Church.
