As the days grow shorter and the world grows busier, Advent invites us to slow down, breathe deep, and remember that Christ steps into our weariness with hope, peace, and light.

This year at Messiah, our Advent series—A Weary World Rejoices—walks with us through the real struggles of life while pointing us to the promise that Jesus has come and will come again. We hope you’ll join us throughout the season as we prepare our hearts for the birth of our Savior.

Sunday, November 30 — Worn Out, Still Waiting

In a season when exhaustion feels all too familiar, we turn to God who meets us in our waiting. This week reminds us that even when we feel worn down, hope is not far off.

Sunday, December 7 — Peace in the Panic

Life can feel like a whirlwind of uncertainty, but Christ offers a deep, steady peace that calms our souls.

Even in dark seasons, the Light of Christ shines with compassion and strength. This week reminds us that God draws near to us in shadowed places.
