Yesterday we took a break from 1 Corinthians to start a four week study on the birth of

Christ.  Ever since I was a young boy one

of my fondest memories of Christmas was the lighting of the Advent

Candles.  I remember being told what they

stood for but not giving this much thought to it at the time.  Well, starting yesterday and going right

through Christmas Eve we will be studying the meaning behind each Advent

Candle; starting with "The Prophet's Candle."  The overall theme of this candle was the hope

we receive from the Messiah.  I preached

through Isaiah 9:1-7 told my group

that "We have hope in Jesus, the Messiah."
