Advent 1 - A Thrill of Hope (Candle of Hope) - Here it Comes!

John the Baptist appears on the scene with a bold proclamation: God’s Kingdom is on its way!  And he announces that the One who comes after him will baptize with the Holy Spirit and fire.  What a message!  It’s a thrill of hope (and a warning)."

Isaiah 2:1-5 (CEB) and Matthew 3:1-12 (CEB)
