Happy Thanksgiving, USA! In the Warner household, we love the build up of the season of festivities this time of year. It's in the name: "Thanksgiving" is a great launch to a holiday season that celebrates appreciation and community. This then leads nicely into the first Sunday of Advent (on November 30 this year). So grab your candles and wreath, because this week begins our Advent series!

In the first week of Advent, we anticipate celebrating the incarnation with Hope. This year, we're looking at Advent through the lens of the Abrahamic Covenant of Promise. This promise made to Abraham encompasses seed (offspring), land, and relationship with God, and through the crux of the promise that "all nations will be blessed through you" we see the promise of Christ (Gen 22:18; Gal 3:8).

What is the biblical understanding of "promise" and "hope"? What blessings did God promise to and through Abraham? How can we put this understanding of Hope into practice as we meditate on and celebrate the Advent season?

The enemy often attacks our hope during times of waiting. Through this study of Abraham's Covenant, we see the importance of faithfulness during such times and offer some strategies and a prayer for cultivating hope in the midst of challenges. May this Advent season be one of heart-focused, deeper connection with God and others! 

Thank you for joining us - father-daughter duo Marcus Warner and Stephanie Warner - on the trail to a deeper walk with God!
