Christmas at Great Oak
sermon series
We often think about the gospel like this: Jesus came 2,000 years ago (amazing!), and someday he'll return and we'll be with him in heaven (can't wait!).
But what about right now? What about today, this week, this season of your life?
That's the story we're exploring this Advent. Because when Jesus came, he didn't just secure our past and guarantee our future. He changed everything about how we live right now, in the waiting, in what theologians call the "already-but-not-yet" of God's kingdom.
Join us each Sunday in Advent as we discover:
Whether your Advent season is looking merry and bright, complicated and messy, or somewhere in between this series has something meaningful for you. Bring a friend. Bring your hopes and your questions. God meets us right where we are.
