"Advent" is a Latin word that means "coming." The season of Advent is the four week period before Christmas that the Church uses to connect the two "comings" of Christ. The first time the Lord came into our world it was as a tiny, helpless baby, born in a manger in Bethlehem. However, when Jesus comes again, it will be in all his power and glory with his angelic army behind him. He will be coming as judge at the end of time. Let us use these four weeks to see how the events of Jesus' first coming remove all our fears about his second coming. We can hold our heads high when the Lord comes near.

Hope for everyday

Hope can be a rare guest in our hearts. Hopes for the future fade away. Hopes for peace are shattered by conflict. Hopes placed in politicians are dashed. Hopes for our relationships with others get torn apart. Hopes for our own lives don't match the present reality.

But there's good news. Hope is delivered.

Living Hope Lutheran Church wants to fill you with God's message of hope. The hope God gives you is more than just the hope of wishful thinking. The hope God gives you is a living hope, a firm conviction built on the resurrection of Jesus from the dead.

Hope forever in Jesus brings hope for every day in life.
