This Advent, while we celebrate the First Advent of Jesus, we are Preparing the Way for the 2nd Advent. This first week is an introduction, a foundation on the important words found in the New Testament about the 2nd Coming and the primary theological systems that inform our understanding about Jesus’ 2nd Coming. Above all, we desire to provide Hope in the midst of uncertainty and Peace in the midst of turmoil, Love in the midst of hate and Joy in the midst of sorrow.
