What makes a good message?

Truth. The Truth, it is a complex and often elusive concept. Although we rely on it as a cornerstone of society and believe we understand it, articulating what truth really means can be difficult.

"Habakkuk 2:2

“Write the vision; make it plain on tablets, so he may run who reads it.”

"the grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God stands forever"

Definition of Advent

Advent is the four-week season in the Christian liturgical year leading up to Christmas.
The word advent comes from the Latin adventus, meaning “coming” or “arrival.”
Advent has two main emphases:
1. Looking back to celebrate the first coming of Jesus Christ—His birth in Bethlehem.
2. Looking forward to His promised second coming in glory.

It is a season of expectation, preparation, hope, and repentance.
