It’s the first Sunday of Advent, so for the church… HAPPY NEW YEAR!

The Church has been on a different calendar for centuries, but evangelicals and Pentecostals don’t always recognize it. It’s too much of a “dead ritual,” or some such thing. I’ve learned to appreciate these seasons, especially Advent and Lent, helping us prepare for Christmas and Easter then leading us to Pentecost. These are healthy rhythms.

There are a couple of good resources to follow for the season. If you want to read Scripture every day in relationship to Advent, THIS SITE is always a good one.

Biblegateway also has devotional readings you can sign up for as well.

Take this season to anticipate the coming of our Lord! Remember his first Advent. Long for his coming again!
