Advent

Yesterday was the first day of the Advent season. In Advent we celebrate the coming of the Lord Jesus, remembering that he came here to earth to redeem God's people. We also look forward to when he will come again and make all things new. Sometimes we lose sight of what this time is about because of all the craziness that goes on around us. Here are some daily bible readings that will help to focus our hearts on Jesus and fight against consumerism:
