12.15.24 - Come, Lord Jesus

Sola City Church

Advent, the season leading up to the celebration of Christmas in the church calendar, is about Christ “coming.” Advent is latin for “coming.” Christ came as a baby to redeem us. Christ has come in the present of the Holy Spirit to sanctify us. Christ will come as King and Judge to gather us up and to dwell with Him forever. This year we are going to look more deeply at the last of the three: the future coming of Jesus Christ. the Bible is laced with reference to the last days where the full revelation of Christ’s glory will be known by all. Matter of fact, NT authors say we are in the last days. This year, I hope that you hear and receive the invitation to consider what His return means for you now. Advent is a time to self-reflect, to repent, and to ready ourselves as we wait for Him. Over the course of this sermon series, we are going to encounter some graphic, intense, future-oriented passages of the Bible. We are given these to stir us up as we look forward to that day with Him. I pray that God would use these scriptures and teachings to create a longing, a love, for his appearing (2Tim 4:8).
