2014 Advent Calendar that you might find helpful in your preparation and anticipation for Christmas.

November 30 - Waiting Well

Luke 2:25-40, Ephesians 5:25
Most of us despise unnecessary periods of waiting. Right? Two older saints in the Christmas story will help inspire us to not just wait passively but instead to wait proactively.
Communion

December 7 - Preparing the Way

Luke 3:1-16
Repentance, a word we don't often associate with Advent, is an important component as we prepare for Christmas. If we want to be a part of a great work of God, we must allow God to do a great work within us.

December 14 - Obeying All the Way

Matthew 1:18-25
Joseph's voice may be silent in the Bible, but his actions are loud! His life preaches a powerful sermon on what it means to trust and obey in every way - a God and a plan much bigger than you can even fathom - which leads to ultimate joy.

December 21 - Enjoying His Presence

Matthew 2:1-11
We'll journey with these interesting wise men as they joyfully follow the star, arrive in a spirit of worship & adoration, and present gifts to the newborn King.
