Advent 2024 | Light in the Darkness

As we celebrate Advent this year, our theme is “Light in the Darkness.” Through this series we will journey from the garden to the manger, situating the events of Christmas in the broader narrative of the Bible.

We have prepared an Advent resource guide to help you walk through the season with us and your families at home. Hard copies will be available at church the first week of Advent.

Discussion Questions

The shepherds’ fear when encountering the angel reminds us how often we feel anxious when we face something unexpected or uncontrollable. What are some areas in your life where you experience fear or anxiety?
What are some “particle board” solutions you might be using to fill peaceless voids in your life? What would it look like for the peace of God to be present in those areas?
Peace in life isn’t the absence of anxiety or difficulties, but it’s the presence of Jesus in the midst of it. How can you embrace the gift of Jesus’ presence in moments of fear or anxiety?
Corrie ten Boom’s quote mentions finding rest by looking to God. Discuss spiritual disciplines and practices that can help you look to God.
