Advent means ‘arrival. ’It is a season of waiting, where Christians around the world anticipate the arrival of Jesus ’birth at Christmas. But while the culture around us rushes ahead to the celebration, we intentionally join in the practice of waiting, retracing our steps in the great Story, remembering how humanity longed for the hope of Immanuel, God with us.

During this Advent, we will retrace those steps all the way back to the beginning, because the whole story of Scripture has been pointing ahead to the hope of Jesus.

In week two of our Advent series we looked at Peace through the lens of the covenant with Abraham. We looked at Genesis 12, Genesis 15:1-6 and 9:21.
