Advent By Candlelight – Unwrapping the Names of Jesus

/in

Jesus, King of kings, Immanuel, Prince of Peace—we hear these names referring to God’s Son often during this time of year. They’re in the hymns we sing, the passages preached, the words on our lips. Do we ever stop to consider what they mean? In fact, each name reveals to us truth. They remind us of what God has accomplished. Each name confesses something uniquely special that he has done for you and for me.

This Advent by Candlelight program seeks to focus our attention right on Jesus by taking a deeper look—through Scripture, narrative, and song—at the names we hear him often called during Advent. Each name reveals a priceless gift just waiting to be opened and treasured for a lifetime. Each name is a perfect gift to unwrap.

Advent By Candlelight – Christmas Begins With Christ

/in

They’re everywhere this time of year. We can’t turn on the radio or push our cart through the grocery store without hearing them. They adorn homes and porches and waiting rooms. They pile up beneath our Christmas tree and fill our mailboxes. What are they? They are the traditional sights and sounds and trappings of Christmas: the festive carols, the sparkling lights and glowing candles, the glittering trees and garland, the gifts wrapped in shiny paper, the annual Christmas card.

But where did these Christmas traditions come from? And what do they mean to us today? This Advent by Candlelight program will dig into the origins of our Christmas traditions and—through Scripture, story, and song—remind us how these traditions all point to Jesus, the light of the world. After all, he’s the whole reason we celebrate. He’s the good news we share with others. Because Christmas begins with CHRIST!
