In this week's episode we discussed the Christmas season. Christmas can be good or bad for a lot of people, and once you get past all the consumerism it can be a very nostalgic time of year. We talked about some of our most fond memories, and old traditions that we used to have. Also, we discussed the history of Christmas and its evolution.

What is Advent? What is an Advent wreath and what's up with the candles? Is Advent only practiced by Catholics, or should all Christ-following evangelicals practice it? Advent comes from the Latin word “adventus”, which means “coming.” A quick google search results in the definition being “the arrival of a notable person, thing, or event.” To a Christian, Advent is the celebration of the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ! Advent is the 4 weeks (or 24 days) leading to Christmas Day. In this video, Dave talks about the different traditions behind Advent, including Advent Calendars, Advent Wreaths, and Advent Candles. The overall point, Advent, is a good “tradition of man,” that has great benefit to the Christ follower. Advent can be celebrated weekly (on the 4 Sundays leading up to Christmas) or daily, there are no rules! The point, is to prepare your heart and soul for the celebration of Christmas, and the arrival of the Messiah, Jesus. Resources mentioned in the video: COUNTING THE DAYS, LIGHTING THE CANDLES - a very simple, low budget book that includes daily devotional readings for the 24 days leading to Christmas. It has some good suggestions for parents for family devotionals and games you can play as a family. Find on Amazon: https://a.co/d/cJ8IEmu THE PROMISED ONE - a publication from Christianity Today, this is not necessarily designed for families but as a daily reading for the Christian to focus their mind and energy on Christ and his advent. https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2022/promised-one-devotional-advent-christmas-2022/ THE 25 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - This is my favorite for a family devotional. It has daily readings as a family as well as songs and games that you can do as a family. It is also very well produced as a coffee table book.

Luke 2:8-20 says, "And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.  For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord."  Today we listen to the angels important message to receive and to give. 

Luke 2:8, says, "In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night."  Why would Christ appear to outcast of society instead to kinds and queens?  Maybe because the message of the gospel is for all to hear.

For the next few weeks we will dive deeper into the meaning of the advent candles. This week's episode is titled prophecy.  Come along and listen with us.

This week we lit the first of the Advent Candles - the candle of hope. From John 1 we are reminded of the hope that we Christians genuinely have in this world.

Yesterday we took a break from 1 Corinthians to start a four week study on the birth of Christ.  Ever since I was a young boy one of my fondest memories of Christmas was the lighting of the Advent Candles.  I remember being told what they stood for but not giving this much thought to it at the time.  Well, starting yesterday and going right through Christmas Eve we will be studying the meaning behind each Advent Candle; starting with "The Prophet's Candle."  The overall theme of this candle was the hope we receive from the Messiah.  I preached through Isaiah 9:1-7 told my group that "We have hope in Jesus, the Messiah."Sermon by Rev. Dan Squezello At First Baptist Church of Westwood On December 3, 2017 Title: "FROM GLOOM TO HOPE: The Messiah Has Come!"Text: Isaiah 9:1-7 www.fbcwonline.info LIKE US ON FACEBOOK! https://archive.org/download/FromGloomToHopeTheMessiahHasCome/FromGloomToHope.mp3

The four Advent Candles tell the story of Israel's long wait for her Messiah and our long wait for His return. Today we'll look at the first candle, the Candle of Hope. God's hope sustains us through our trials and as we wait.
