1 John 4:7-21 As the children of God, we enter into the season of Advent as a time to revel in the love of God, abiding in it, and letting it warm our hearts. And as the self-giving love of God reaches our deepest selves, we discover that it's our call to embody it as well. Guest Pastor Brook Mosser teaches on the love of Advent and how we can share it.

Psalm 130, Luke 2:25-32 Pastor Ryan Smith begins our Advent 2022 series by examining the theme of hope.
