Scripture: Matthew 24:36–44
“Jesus calls us to stay awake with hope—living alert, faithful, and ready for the moment when His light breaks in. In the waiting, we discover His presence already near.”
— inspired by Matthew 24:36–44
This Sunday marks the First Sunday of Advent, the beginning of a season of watchful Hope. In Matthew 24, Jesus reminds us that while the day of His coming is unknown, the posture of our hearts matters deeply. Advent is our invitation to wake up spiritually—to notice God’s movement, to live expectantly, and to welcome Christ anew.
We invite you to join us as we light the first Advent candle and open ourselves to the hope that awakens, renews, and prepares us for His coming. May this season stir our hearts to watch, wait, and walk in His light
