Discipleship Now

Weeks one and two of Advent cover Hope and Love. This time of year reminds us of the Hope that we have in Christ and the Love of God that we should share with those around us. There are many in our world who are hurting and who are lost without Christ. If you know Christ as your Savior, then you have a gift that is meant to be shared. Allow Advent to challenge you to give out Hope and Love this Christmas season.

It was one of the most exciting moments in the lives of the children of Israel in Exodus 35. It was time to build a place for God's presence to dwell with them and a place for them to focus their worship. The Bible says their hearts were stirred.
