Weekly Advent Services
Sundays at 10:30am

This December, we invite you to join us each Sunday at 10:30am as we journey through the life and ministry of John the Baptist, the prophetic voice who prepared the way for the coming of Christ. Together, we’ll discover how his bold faith, humility, and obedience point us to the hope and light of Jesus during this sacred season.

Week 1 – A Promise of Preparation
Luke 1:5-25
We begin with the miraculous announcement of John’s birth. Come see how God fulfills His promises in unexpected ways and how He prepares the world—and our hearts—for the arrival of the Messiah.

Week 2 – A Call to Prepare
Matthew 3:1-12
John’s bold message of repentance challenges us to prepare room for Christ. In this Advent season, we’ll explore why turning back to God is at the heart of true spiritual readiness.

Week 3 – Pointing to the Light
John 1:19-34
John knew exactly who he was—and who he wasn’t. Join us as we look at his mission to point others to Jesus, the true Light, and how we are called to do the same.

Week 4 – He Must Increase
John 3:22-30
As Advent draws near to Christmas, we reflect on John’s humble declaration that Jesus must increase. His example helps us center our lives on Christ and celebrate the hope of His coming.

Come be encouraged, challenged, and prepared for Christmas as we hear A Voice in the Wilderness calling us to hope, repentance, and worship. We look forward to celebrating Advent with you every Sunday at 10:30am.
