Christmas is Coming

Dec 2, 2018    Matt Santen

As the Advent season begins, this message reminds us that Christmas is coming—but more importantly, so is Christ. Drawing from Isaiah 40 and the call to “prepare the way of the Lord,” we’re invited to do more than decorate or shop—we’re invited to prepare our hearts. That means bringing Jesus into our valleys, letting Him tear down our pride, and allowing Him to smooth out our rough edges. The goal isn’t just a great December—it’s a life of growing intimacy with Jesus that starts now. With simple tools like a family devotion kit, reading the Christmas story, and even a scented reminder on your rearview mirror, this message offers practical ways to make room for what truly matters this Christmas.
