Advent causes us to have a hopeful expectation of Jesus' coming. If we have this expectation, then we also prepare for His Kingdom to come now. Preparation begins with repentance and thankfullness. (Matthew 4:13-17; Matthew 10:7-9; 2 Corinthians 10:3-6; 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18; Psalm 100:4).

The season of Advent has arrived! This first week our focus was on the hope that Christ's birth brought to the world. Hope is something we are both intended to carry within us and to give away to others. In spite of troubles and trials, hope is ours to claim and use. Advent is a time to let our expections rise that we will increasingly see His Kingdom in our midst as the day of Christ's return draws nearer. (Isaiah 9:2-3; 6-7; Proverbs 14:10; 1 Corinthians 13:7; Matthew 4:23-24; Romans 14:17).

In this sermon, Mark Heger walks us through the story of Jesus interacting with the Samaritan woman at the well in John 4, while explaining the geography and historical elements that make this gospel story come alive. Also, we find that Jesus is Purposeful and Relational with the woman before He tells her that He is Superior and finally Reveals Himself.

This Sunday we had our annual Adoption Sunday at Normandy. John reminded us that our primary job is to worship Christ and allow Him to direct our action. And our Christ has given us a commandment - love others like He has loved us. And His love is both an adoptive love and an advocating love (Ephesians 1:3-10; John 13:34; 1 John 3:1; 1 John 4:7-11; 1 John 2:1).

We hear from Justus Murimi today we continue in our series, Action. God promises us joy to the full when we obey his commandments. Scripture tells us that the cross was the joy set before Jesus. Justus shares how Jesus endured the cross to encounter joy and wants to give his joy away fully. (John 15:10-11; Ephesians 3:14-20; Psalm 51)
