Advent Season 2010

"Advent" simply means "coming" and it refers to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Christmas, New City Church enters the story of the birth of Jesus in the four Sundays of Advent season beginning this Sunday, November 28th.

We often hear that Jesus is the reason for the season, but what does that mean?  Usually, it is a frustrated reminder from many Christians to push against the materialism that surrounds the holiday season.  Christmas is about more than decorations, presents, family.   And indeed it is.

But the Scripture details so much more than this.   Jesus is indeed the reason for the seaon, but so is the devil, the world, and you & me.   Does that sound odd to you?   Come worship with us this Advent season and grow in your understanding of the person and work of Jesus of Nazareth.
