The Advent and Christmas Seasons - This week, Peter and Leslie, begin a short series on the Advent and Christmas Season. Advent is that time in the liturgical calendar, where we, the faithful, prepare our hearts to celebrate the coming of the Lord! His coming, both as the babe in Bethlehem, as well as the conquering King at the end of time, gives us hope in the midst of an unstable world. In order to celebrate Advent, it is necessary to both understand its history as well as its theology. Advent is key to keeping a correct approach to the holiday season and allows us to make Jesus first in a secular culture!
