                                                                  Advent and Christmas

                                                                  During the Advent Season, we look at some of the words of Isaiah that were intended to prepare us for the Messiah, God's Chosen One.  We look at who Jesus is, how we can live as his followers, and how we can prepare for the time when he returns.

                                                                  November 28, 2010 (First Sunday of Advent): "Hope for Today" Isaiah 2:1-5.  Many of us are willing to put our hope in God for eternity (heaven), but go elsewhere to find the "good life" now.  Do you believe that God holds the keys to the "good life" now and later?  Are you willing to learn from Jesus how to have that life?
