Advent Sermon Series

What do your prayers sound like at this time of year? Please God, can this Christmas be more peaceful than the last? Please God, stretch my financial resources so I can buy the gifts that my kids want. Please God, keep me well as company is coming in to visit.

Advent is a 4 week season of waiting, expectation, and hope. For many of us, that hope is expressed in our prayers to God. But…really…..does God really hear our prayers? Of course, God does hear us as we cry out in prayer. But, it doesn’t mean that all longings are realized, though.

And even as the story of Jesus begins with the angel announcing the birth of the Savior to Mary and the world, everyone in the story is given a voice. They speak their hopes to God. God hears each voice as they are spoken in prayer. And those voices are heard in four prayers named after the Latin word for the start of each prayer.

Join us each Sunday before Christmas as we reflect on those voices, those prayers and see how they can transform our lives!
