ADULT FORUM ADVENT SERIES CONTINUES THIS SUNDAY
10:00am in the Parish Hall
This Sunday, we’ll be exploring the Gospel for Advent 2 (12/5): Luke 3:1-6. We’ll be diving into each Advent Gospel the week prior so we can prepare hearts and minds during the week for the sermon to come.
Luke 3:1-6
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was ruler of Galilee, and his brother Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. He went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one crying out in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Every valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'"
See you Sunday.
In Christ,
Brad+
