Talk Notes O Come Let Us Adore Him Advent 2024 What is Advent? Formed from a Latin word meaning “coming” or “arrival”. Advent is the traditional celebration of the first advent of Jesus (the Christmas story) and the anxious awaiting of His second advent in glory. In Advent we are ushered into a time of waiting where we are connected again with our longing for God. "A society that denies the supernatural, usually ends up elevating the natural to supernatural status" Phillip Yancy - Rumors of Another World 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles... 25 They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised.
