Home for Christmas: Finding Our Way Back
Hope Rekindled. Faith Reimagined. Love Made Real.
Isaiah 40:1–11, Mark 13:24–37
Deep down, we all long for a place where we are known, welcomed, and loved — a place where we belong. Advent reminds us that God’s story is about bringing us home — to peace, to purpose, to one another, and to Christ.
In a season that can feel scattered and hurried, this series helps us slow down and remember what matters most — not the perfect Christmas, but the presence of Christ among us.
We don’t make the journey home alone. The church walks together — across generations, stories, and experiences — discovering what it means to find our way back to God and to each other.
“Home” isn’t just a destination; it’s a way of being. As we make room for Christ, our hope is rekindled, our faith is reimagined, and love becomes real — right here, right now.
This Advent and Christmas, come home to the heart of the story — where God meets us, welcomes us, and makes us whole again.
