Prepare Him Room Advent Sermon Series
Advent invites us to make space—in our hearts, our homes, and our world—for the coming of Christ. This series leads us through the longing and waiting of the season as we search for hope in darkness, learn to be at peace with the unknown, and open ourselves to the unexpected ways God shows up. As we draw closer to the light of Christmas, we rediscover the joy and wonder of Emmanuel—God with us—breaking in with grace and love for all.

Looking for Hope in the Darkness
In Matthew 24:36-44, Jesus reminds His followers that no one knows the day or hour of His return, calling them instead to live with readiness, alertness, and faith. This passage teaches us that even in uncertain and troubling times, we can find hope by staying grounded in God’s promises and attentive to God’s presence. Through this message, we are encouraged to live each day with watchful hope, trusting that even in the darkness, God is drawing near.
