Advent: A Time to Slow Down and Refocus.

I can't believe it's December 1st, and with it comes the start of Advent.

What is Advent? It's is a time that Christians set aside to prepare for celebrating Christ's coming.

Why Celebrate Advent? It forces us, in the middle of busy lives, to slow down and focus on the true meaning of the season.

How Can We Celebrate Advent? There's no set formula. Many families make an Advent wreath and light a new candle each successive Sunday of Advent. Many also use Advent calendars.

My church, Christ City Church, created an Advent Devotional for mornings and evenings, offering it for a daily time of Scripture reading and reflection.

I wanted to share it with y'all in hopes that we would all slow down during this season, which can so easily get out of hand, and truly remember what Christmas is all about...the coming of the King.

Merry Christmas!
