3rd Sunday in Lent
Mark 8:31-38

1st Sunday in Lent.  This series contemplates the reasons why Jesus is going to the cross. Our lives are hard—because of our own sinfulness, but also because of the actions of the world. God knows this and has promised to deliver us from the pain of this world. He promises the ultimate redemption of the world and of all those who believe. The concentration of his promises is found in Jesus’s cross.

Broken For Us 
Joel 2:1-2, 12-17

Advent is the beginning of the Christian calendar.  During this season, we prepare for, and anticipate, the coming of Christ. We remember the longing of Jews for a Messiah and our own longing for, and need of, forgiveness, salvation, and a new beginning. Even as we look back and celebrate the birth of Jesus in a humble stable in Bethlehem, we also look forward anticipating the second coming of Christ as the fulfillment of all that was promised by His first coming.  Jesus is the source of our hope, love, joy, and peace. 

Advent isn't just a countdown to Christmas.  It's the self revelation of God in human form - God is with us.  Knowledge and belief in Immanuel should change the way you approach your New Year resolutions.
