This week we begin a new series entitled, Advent With God. Advent comes from
the Latin word, adventus, which means “coming.” During this season, Christians remember Christ’s first coming to earth 2,000 years ago. Christians anticipate Christ’s second coming when he returns to set the world right, and finish the work he began. And Christians expect Christ’s coming in the present through the work of the Holy Spirit. We begin the season of Advent by immersing ourselves in the story of Mary’s with-God life, as we discover how our ultimate identity and purpose is found in Christ.
